U.P. Style Matar ka Nimona Recipe

Nimona

Uttar Pradesh is famous for mouth-watering dishes and if your roots are from nawabo ka sehar- Lucknow, you can imagine how crazy you could be for food. Winters and food are a perfect combo for any North Indians. Recently I shared my top 5 winter food list and among which one was Nimona.

Nimona can be made from green peas(Matar), Hara Chana(which you get easily in winters everywhere in UP), Black chana(option when both these are not available in another season). We usually prefer to cook with green peas and I am going to share here nimona recipe without onion. Many prefer onion which I don’t like too much.
