#GreenPeas
Green peas are abundantly available in Winters. They are a very good sauce of proteins.They provide good roughage. They are very versatile , can blend with any vegetable. I have made koftas with a difference. Generally people make koftas of potatoes and stuff peas and other vegetables in the centre. I have reversed it by making covering of peas and stuffing of potatoes and other vegetables.
