Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Soak the dry Peas in enough drinking water overnight for best results. Pressure cook with little Salt and water as required the next day. Set aside until use.
2

Heat Oil in a pressure cooker. Add Ginger garlic paste and the Onions that are finely chopped. Saute until translucent. Add the rest of the powdered spices and saute all that for about 3-4 minutes and then add chopped Tomatoes too. Ripe one's are the best. Cook on a low heat for further 3 minutes. You can also add slit Green Chillies too.
3

Relish! Also add some of the chopped Coriander Leaves and half of the Salt too. Otherwise It would be bland. Now add boiled Dry Peas to the kadai. Mix well and cook on a low heat until 4-5 minutes more so that everything gets incorporated really well. Since this is a semi dry Sabzi or Curry, do not add extra water.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
