    Green Peas Masala

    Jan 30, 2015 · Leave a Comment

    My 57th recipe, “Green Peas Masala”, a flavorful and protein rich side. Green Peas are nature's own little protein supplements. Cute little green babies sleeping in their mothers womb. That's how I feel whenever I get to see the fresh green peas. Now-a-days technology has improved and we get green peas all around the year in frozen packets. But when I was little, peas were seasonal, and we usually bought it fresh. When they were in season, I have vivid memories of lending my hands to my mom to get the peas out of their pods. On those occasions, my mom never failed to make this delicious green peas masala. Perfect with any Indian rice entree or bread.

    Notes | FAQ

    - If you like your masala to be dry, saute for an additional few minutes in high flame.
    - I generally add the garam masala towards the end, to retain the best flavors.
