This is one of the simplest side dishes for poori or chappathi. You can even have it with plain ghee rice. You can use frozen green peas too for this recipe. If you are using dried peas (like me) then soak them in cold water for atleast 5-6 hours. You can replace peas with channa or any other bean v
