I used sieved tomatoes and did not add any extra salt. I used about the same amount of carrots as peas. I liked it both with brown basmati rice and wholewheat pasta.

I enjoyed this. I did not have 2 cups of peas (must shop more??) so I used a can of mixed beans along with the carrots. Turned out just fine. Excellent over rice. May try it on pasta soon as i have "planed overs!!"

This was a great side for rotis (Indian bread). I didn't have tomato sauce, so I used 5 tablespoons of tomato paste with 3/4 cup water (for 2 servings). I also omitted the dill weed which I didn't have, and added some dried oregano and basil for flavour. Thanks, I will definitely make this again!
