Green peas masala

A simple and quick accompaniment to bread or rice, this curry is a always a last minute decision when I run out of veggies. I use frozen peas in this recipe as it is always stocked in my freezer, though I recommend using fresh peas whenever possible as that does takes this curry to a whole new level.

When purchasing fresh garden peas, look for ones with firm pods, which are velvety and smooth. The color should be a lively green. Those whose green color is especially light or dark, or those that are yellow, whitish or speckled with gray, can be avoided.
