Bring 1 l salted water (1 teaspoon salt per litre) to the boil. Cook the frozen peas for about 2 minutes. Pour into a sieve, rinse cold and drain well.
Cut the green from the fennel. Wash and halve the fennel bulb and cut the stalk into a wedge shape (see page 144). Cut the fennel into thin strips. Cut dates in half crosswise, mix with peas and fennel in a bowl.
For the yoghurt sauce, wash coriander, shake dry, pluck off leaves and puree finely with yoghurt. Season to taste with salt, cinnamon and lemon juice. Embezzle oil. Mix salad with yoghurt sauce and let it stand for about 20 minutes.
Arrange salad in bowls. Naan bread (Indian flatbread) goes well with it.
