Mutter – Green Peas at Dakshin Indian Bistro
What is Mutter – Green Peas?
Mutter (Green Peas) are small, round, and vibrant green legumes that are widely used in cooking across various cuisines, especially in Indian dishes. They are harvested from the pea plant and can be eaten fresh, frozen, or dried. Green peas have a naturally sweet, mild flavor and a tender texture when cooked.
Rich in nutrients, mutters are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin C and K), and minerals like iron and magnesium. They are commonly used in curries, soups, rice dishes (like Mutter Pulao), and snacks, and can also be added to salads or stir-fries.
Their versatility, nutritional benefits, and delightful flavor make them a favorite ingredient in many dishes, especially in vegetarian and vegan cooking.
