Green Peas Masala

This is one of the simplest side dishes for Poori or Chapathi. You can even have it with plain ghee rice too. If you are running out of time then you can use frozen green peas instead of soaking dry peas and cooking them. While using dried peas (like me) then soak them in cold water for at least 5-6 hours. The base onion tomato gravy can be used along with other legumes or beans. These are some of the health benefits of Peas. They are

• Rich in dietary fiber.
• Lowers Cholesterol.
• Helps in stabilizing the blood sugar levels.
• Helps to prevent constipation.
