Notes
- Cooking the veggie along with the gravy takes a little more time but adds more flavour to the veggie and gravy too.
- You can do this in pan too.
- I added cream just for making the gravy creamy, you can even skip it.
- Adding tomato sauce gives a nice tanginess to the gravy.
- I used fresh green peas…you can use frozen or even try with dried variety. But soak dry peas overnight , then add it.
