Green Peas Masala

Green Peas Masala is one of the most ordered dishes at restaurants. This is the most comforting meal when paired with roti or rice. When green peas is in season you should definitely try this gravy.

This Green Peas Masala almost restaurant style recipe without added cream or even milk which is the specialty of this recipe. But do not under estimate the taste, it is so good. It is not very buttery or very rich but still creamy and tastes delicious. THis gravy is no less than PB Masala.

Usually fresh green peas is the best for this recipe however you can use frozen peas too. I usually have green peas in stock to add it in cutlets, biryani so I buy frozen peas only when peas is not in season.

You can smoke the gravy with charcoal to give it a smoky flavor just like green peas masala dhaba style. This version is close to punjabi style green peas masala. Will share the kerala style green peas masala recipe soon.

What I like the best about this Green Peas Masala or Green Peas Gravy is it is very mild, and tummy friendly also pairs up well with Roti, Nan, Chapati, Phulka or even Mild Pulao. Green peas are sweet, tender, healthy and more versatile to use in different foods.

Expert Tips

• You can even add curry leaves while tempering which gives a nice flavour too.
• Use kashmiri red chilli powder for a dark red color as in restaurants.
• This is medium spicy, adjust chilli powder according to your taste.
• For the peas or any green vegetable to stay green, after pressure cooking release the pressure manually(slightly) and open it. This way the veggies will stay green while adding in gravies.
• You can add 1 tablespoon butter along with 1 tablespoon oil while tempering for a more rich taste. Else you can add a dollop of butter at the end too.
• You can use either fresh peas or frozen peas as per your preference and availability. I would not recommend dried peas for this gravy.
