Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add fava beans, peas, and edamame; return to boil. Cook until tender but still very green, about 5 minutes. Drain, then refresh in cold water. Drain well on a towel.
  2. Wash cilantro and squeeze dry in a towel. Place the entire bunch on a cutting board and begin chopping across, starting with leaves. Separate about ½ cup leaves from the top portion and chop coarsely. Place remaining cilantro, including stems, fava beans, peas, and edamame in a food processor and pulse to chop finely. Add chiles, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, curry powder, and salt. Process until smooth. With motor running, slowly add oil. Scrape into a bowl and stir in onion and reserved chopped cilantro leaves by hand.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°. Cut each large pita bread into 16 wedges. Spread on two baking sheets, distributing well. Place in oven and reduce heat to 300°. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until crisp, stirring once or twice. Remove, allow to cool slightly, and then serve with dip.
