Directions
This month we the bloggers of shhh cooking secretly group decided that we would blog Manipuri cuisine. Ashima was my partner for this theme and she suggested that I use Cumin powder and Tomato to make a Manipuri specialty. While Ashima was quick to make Manipuri Aloo Kangmet, I took some time to decide the recipe as I wanted to make a dish which would suit my taste as well as my diet chart. Checking on vegetarian recipes on the web, I chanced upon this Mangal Kangtak on NDTV. I was intrigued by the name. For some strange reason, I kept remembering the movie, Mangal Pandey. Anyway coming back to the recipe. this looked very doable and easy and I was sure people at home would like it.
Mangal Kangtak
I made some changes in the method of cooking. I have used a pressure cooker to cook the dish. I have used fresh peas here. If you use frozen peas, you need to thaw them before you cook.

I love the look and sound of this peas gravy. I’m sure it tasted absolutely fabulous. I’ll surely try this out some time soon. 🙂
Super yummy and absolutely delicious curry to serve with hot rice and roti.
This matar curry looks so delicious curry..and looks it is easy to make too..thats really great
Loved your click Veena. Curry looks superbly delicious. I am drooling. Mangal is also present in my recipe. I have made Mangal ooti
Fabulous picture, Veena. The colours caught my eye first. I look forward to trying this recipe soon.
All of us at home love green peas (and who doesn’t). This recipe is a variation that I need to try, pressure cooking the green peas curry. I wonder, won’t the peas get overcooked? In the images on this post they look just perfect, though!
The peas curry looks so yummy and inviting. Perfect side dish for rotis. Bookmarked it .
We both have made recipe using green peas but each one is unique. I loved this recipe, the use of fenugreek powder and spring onion. PS – Comparing this with Mangal Pandey comment left me in splits.
Usually when I make fresh pea sabji its either with brinjals or potatoes and pretty simple. I’m glad I’ve found another flavorful sabji using peas. The spring onions must have made this mangal kangtak taste awesome.
Yummy and delicious curry. Perfect with some hot steaming rice.
Such a simple recipe and the dish looks so delicious. I guess it pairs well with roti. Beautiful picture. The bright colour of the curry is popping up because of black background.
