If I am not mistaken, Nimona is a curry dish from U.P. in which they use paste of fresh peas and add vegetables like-potato, cauliflower, tomato and Vadis, at times.

You are right. It is very much a U.P.dish, and that too from Awadh, i.e., Lucknow and surrounding area. You are also right that it is curry. However, matar ka nimona does not have any add-on like potato, cauliflower, etc. as they ruin the taste of matar. Although I have been hearing the word since my childhood, I do not know its origin. The chef should not have used the word nimona for his recipe which is just hara matar (green peas)and is eaten in breakfast. The real nimona is made from hara chana (green gram)available in early February onwards till March in northern India and is eaten with rice at lunch or dinner. This is a very tasty dish. Matar ka nimona is its poor copy!
