Steps

1

Separately boil the green peas until well cooked and can easily mash. Drain excess water(you use this water to cook the potatoes).
2

Peel and wash the potatoes and put in a pressure cooker. Add the pumpkin leaves, thinly shredded. Add the water drained above and top up with plain water if needed. Add some salt and cook(most potatoes I use are ready with the third whistling of the pressure cooker so check at this point to avoid overcooking). When cooked drain excess water.
3

Mix the peas to the already cooked potatoes and mash until all the potatoes are completely mashed and mixed well with the peas. Check salt and add accordingly.
4

Serve with meat stew and vegetables.
