For me daal is comfort food and whenever I come back from vacation or not feeling well than daal chawal is the food I want. Few days back I wanted to have daal and chawal but somehow was not in a mood for regular daals that we make so I made Green peas daal. It turned out truly delicious and something different to have when you are bored with regular yellow or black daal. Quick & easy recipe if you are craving for simple home food.
1/2 cup green peas
4 tablespoon green peas paste
1 small bowl chopped onion
1 small bowl chopped tomato
1 teaspoon green chili chopped
1 tablespoon ginger & garlic paste

1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 tea spoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon garam masala powder
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1-2 whole garam masala bay leaves, green & black cardamom, clove, red chili,

3. After that add green peas in the paste and roast properly, then add 2 cups water and give 4-5 visil
4. Tadka preparation:
