Green chillies-2 to 3

Mustard oil-1 tsp

Method:

1. Blend mustard seeds and chillies by adding some water until it becomes into a smooth paste.

3. Wash the snow peas, rip the scales off. 
4. Heat oil in a pan and add kalonji and red chillies. After they sputter, add snow peas, salt, turmeric and fry a little. 
5. Add tomatoes when the peas are lighter in color. Saute for a min and then add mustard sauce.
6. Cover the pan and let it cook till the peas are cooked. 
7. If you want the sauce to be drier, take the lid off and heat for a little longer till the desired consistency is reached.
8. If you are adding potatoes, add to oil before adding the peas.
9. Serve yummy sheem paturi with rice and dal.
