Peas Masala – Vegetarian Gravy with peas for rice, Roti or Naan – restaurant style peas masala recipe

He started eating peas so now I am digging all the peas based recipe. I had handwritten this recipe but I could not remember where I had copied either from cookbook or from TV show. But the uniqueness of the recipe is adding Ghee at the end of the gravy.. It gave a taste same as what you get it restaurant. Do try it out

    Great Recipe. Is it okay if i dont add the pasted cashew nuts since i don't like the same??? I will add the yoghurt to the onion + Tomato paste !!! I have peas at home and was wondering how to make something out of them. Thanks a lot.

      yes you can omit Cashew just the gravy wouldn't be rich but u can substitute Almond instead of Cashew if u like it..
