Cooking the Peas – Pressure cook the peas over 5-6 whistles. For this dish, we need perfectly boild peanuts.
To get thick gravy – While cooking the peas in onion tomato masala, add 2 cups of water to adjust the consistency of the gravy. Also mash few peases roughly with the back side of the ladle. This help to get thicker gravy.
