3. Add Tomatoes, Salt and Turmeric Powder. Cook it until it turns mushy. Add Red Chilli Powder, Dhania Powder and Jeera Powder (for digestion)

4. Mix it until it combines properly. Add Green Peas and stir it for a minute. Add two cups of water and cook it until Oil comes up.

5. Add Garam Masala Powder just before you switch off the stove. Stir it well. It gives out a special aroma to the dish. Hope you could smell it now ♥ Garnish it with Coriander leaves :)

#Tips:

Green Peas Masala, a Punjabi dish, is a perfect curry for Chapathi, Roti or Pulka. My Dad is a specialist in this and I am happy to do justice to it. Do try it out and you are welcome to post the pics here.
