#winter21 - This is a traditional You.P. style green peas curry that is so simple to prepare and is just amazing. It is a pure vegetarian delight without any onion or garlic. But you may add them if preferred. This winter recipe is very popular in every household and the method along with the ingredients used, differs from one person to the other.

This yummy curry tastes good with fresh green peas, but frozen ones and dried ones can also be used if the former is unavailable. So go ahead and prepare this side dish and enjoy with rice or any Indian bread.
