Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles on medium flame and let the pressure come down naturally.

Serve hot immediately.

Aps Notes

You can use dried yellow peas, chole/garbanzo beans/chickpeas instead of dried green peas.

Adjust spices as per you preference.

This is not a authentic recipe but a trial that was liked in my house. If you like this recipe and try it out do let me know.

You can top it up with whisked  yogurt(add in 1 tbsp sugar to 1 cup yogurt and whisk) too, As I have have done both on the same day.

What I do sometimes is I add a tbsp of spicy chutney and a tsp of sweet chutney in the masala and it gives a excellent flavour.
