Notes

Tips for Green Peas Gravy Recipe

1. I used homemade frozen peas, so used them directly. If using fresh peas, pressure cook for 1 whistle and then use it. Also don't give more whistles, else peas become mushy.
2. Dried green peas can also be used. Soak for a minimum of 6 hours, pressure cook for 3 whistles and then proceed. But this green peas kurma recipe tastes good with fresh or frozen peas.
3. You can also add 1 tsp of poppy seeds / khus khus while grinding, for more taste.
4. Cashews add rich taste and flavour to the green peas gravy recipe, but they can be skipped too.
5. I used ginger - garlic paste to simplify the work. But you can grind, 1" ginger and 3 pods of garlic for fresh flavour.
6. Don't skip the black stone flower in tempering, as it lends the maximum flavour to the gravy.
7. Even a few mint leaves can be added while tempering for a nice aroma.
8. Instead of chilli powder, 3 to 4 green chilli can be used. Also, adjust the spice level as required.
9. Don't skip sugar at last (after adding peas) as it helps to retain the green colour of the peas and it lends nice taste to the korma also.
