This recipe is a classic from the picturesque Indian state of Kashmir.
1. In a medium skillet, heat the oil on medium. Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, and cumin seeds. When the seeds begin to sizzle, add the red chili powder, turmeric powder, and coriander; stir for 10 seconds.
2. Add the yogurt and mix well. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the oil starts to separate from the spice mixture.
3. Add the peas, Whole-Milk Fudge, and salt. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the peas are tender. Serve hot.
