    Green Peas Masala is a great side dish for chapati,phulka or even pulaos.As I have mentioned earlier, mittu loves peas so I take chances to try different varieties with it.

    I bookmarked this green peas masala recipe long back and when I browsing through it last week, I had the sudden urge to try this and with no surprise mittu loved it. I modified the recipe a bit to my convenience and it came out still too good.Even with no milk/cream the gravy is creamy and yummy, apt with rotis or even jeera rice.

    • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
    • 1/2 tsp sugar
    • a generous pinch kasoori methi
    • 1 tbsp coriander leaves
    • salt to taste

    To saute and grind

    • 4 medium sized tomatoes
    • 2 nos onion
    • 1/4 inch ginger
    • 5 nos garlic
    • 2 nos green chillies

    For cashew paste

    • 5 nos whole cashews
    • 2 tbsp curd

    To temper

    • 2 nos cloves
    • 1/4 inch cinnamon
    • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
    • 1 tbsp butter
    • 2 tsp oil

    Instructions

    • Pressure cook peas for 2 whistles and set aside.First grind cashews with curd to a smooth creamy paste, set aside.
    • Add a tsp of oil and add the ingredients under 'to saute and grind' and saute till tomatoes turn mushy. Cool down and grind it a fine paste.
    • Heat butter,add the items under 'to temper' add onion and saute till slightly browned. Then add the tomato paste and saute.
    • Saute for 3-5mins then add channa masala,red chilli powder and required salt. Add water as required to bring it a running consistency. Allow it to boil for 2 mins. Then add the cashew paste and give a quick stir.
    • Add cooked peas, sugar and cook in low flame for 5mins.Then add kasoori methi and coriander leaves and switch it off.

    Notes

    • You can even add curry leaves while tempering which gives a nice flavour too.
    • Use kashmiri red chilli powder for a dark red color as in restaurants.
    • Channa masala powder gives a great flavour to the gravy.
    • This is medium spicy , adjust chilli powder according to your taste.
    • For the peas or any green vegetable to stay green, after pressure cook release the pressure manually and open it. This way the veggies will stay green while adding in gravies - Got this tip from my cousin and it worked too.

        It depends on the sourness of tomatoes and curd…Add little more chilli powder to compensate the sourness and add a pinch of sugar too. Hope this helps!

      Can you specify chole maslas brand you used in this recipe.Also please give the correct measure of tomatoes and onions in grams or cups measure in griding list.Your recipe looks tempting at the same time I do not want to rush to make this recipe and dissapoint myself if the gravy becomes too sour because of tomatoes and too oniony if I dont have the measure in grams or in cups.

      Awesome Recipe! I made this today. I had gone to Trader Joe’s yesterday and found some fresh peas. I was looking for a Green Peas Masala recipe, something different from the one that I usually make, either Kerala style (with coconut) or just the regular masala, and stumbled upon your recipe. Thanks for sharing. My daughter loved it.. 🙂
