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.
Green Peas Masala – Restaurant Style Recipe – Ingredients

Recipe Category: Side dish | Recipe Cuisine: North Indian| Recipe Reference: PratsCorner
Fresh or Frozen Peas – 1 cup
Onion – 1 small chopped finely
Chana/ chole masala – 1.5 tsp
Red chilli powder – 1/2 tsp
Sugar – 1/2 tsp
Kasoori methi – a generous pinch
Coriander leaves – 1 tbsp
Salt – to taste
To saute and grind:
Tomatoes – 4 medium sized
Onion – 2
Ginger – 1/4 inch piece
Garlic – 5 pearls
Green Chillies – 2
To grind (for the cashewpaste) :
Whole Cashews – 5
Curd – 2 tbsp
To temper:
Cloves – 2
Cinnamon – 1/4 inch piece
Jeera – 1/2 tsp
Butter – 1 tbsp
Oil – 2 tsp
Method:
- 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.
My 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.

Hi, tried this recipe, it turned out to be very tangy coz of both tomatoes n curd, any suggestions…………
SHARMILEE J
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!

Saahshi
Tomato & onoion both get grinded,it gives me bitter taste.I tried once this method for butter beans gravy.you had told in this gravy to do in that method.can you explain me in detail,sharmi
SHARMILEE J
I have been grinding onion tomato base for most of my gravies and I havent faced that issue….not sure where you are missing…Did you try sauteing well, cooling down completely and grinding?!
Poonam Vishnu

SHARMILEE J

Priyanka Rabin
Made this today without Chloe masala and everyone loved it!!!!
kamalaveni
I am waiting for your reply
SHARMILEE J
You can round off and add whole tomatoes and onion, no need to be apt…The quantity of onion tomatoes is just for the gravy the tangyness can be adjusted by the spice powders….When I get chance will measure n write

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.
Sharmilee J
I used everest brand.
Tomatoes – 1 cup roughly chopped and onion 1/2 cup rougly chopped

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.. 🙂
