Nimona

Its kind of main regional dish of eastern UP and can get in almost every home as now an then winter meal.. Only sometime back this recipe got some recognition in outer area bcoz of media .I have seen some chef making this in cooking show but they bargained its authenticity to make it fancy restaurant dish.

Nimona is the basically a curry made by using coarse paste of pea as key flavoring as well as thickening agent..and all green makes its truly different experience for palate.It curry best compliment with simple rice.Some people also add baries or soya chunks too.So,feel free to add some if you like the taste of them.
