Green peas curry is a simple dish prepared in most of the Kerala household. Its goes well with appam, idiyappam or Kerala paratha. My personal favorite is appam. Whenever this dish is prepared at home, I make sure there is extra batter of appam to fulfill everyone’s craving.

Add the grounded paste and saute again for a minute. Now add the chopped tomato and give it a stir. Add the red chili powder, garam masala and remaining salt. Mix well and cook for two minutes. Add this gravy to the cooked peas, mix well. Add extra water to get the correct consistency. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Put of the heat, Green peas curry is ready.
