Karaikudi Piratal by Kousalya/Meera

Ingredients:
Peas – 1 cup 
Mushroom-1cup (u can use only peas or mushroom or brinjal, drumstick)
Onion – 3/4 cup (finely chopped)
Tomato- ¾ cups (finely chopped)
Cloves-2
Cinnamon stick-1 piece
Cilantro and curry leaves for garnishing 
Oil and salt as needed (it takes more oil)

Masala:
Ginger –small piece
Garlic-4 nos
Fennel seeds-1tsp
Shredded coconut =1/4 cup
Red pwd-1 spoon
Coriander pwd -1 spoon
Turmeric pwd-1/4th spoon
Pepper-1tsp (optional pepper will be good with mushrooms)
Grind everything together in to paste with less water as we r grinding everything raw, if u add more water it will take lot of time for raw smell goes off. 

Procedure:
In a kadai pour some oil when the oil is hot put cinnamon, cloves, then put onion and sauté till it changes color add tomato and salt when tomato gets cooked add the masala and reduce the flame to medium and cook the masala till the raw smell goes off (cook the masala without burning else it will turn bitter taste). It mite take 5-10 mins then add the mushrooms and peas, mix everything together and add some water if its too dry keep it in low flame for 10 mins then garnish with curry leaves and coriander. Piratal is ready .You can have it with rice or rotis/poori . For rice I will make it very dry but for roti’s will add little water.
Note:
If u use frozen peas above method holds good else if it is fresh peas/vegetables add peas/vegetable and masala together when the peas/vegetable cooks the raw smell of the masala will also goes off.
