    For a long time, I have never tried a subzi with green peas alone, always combined it with potatoes, cauliflower and paneer. Green peas has a sweetish taste, which many might not prefer, both my kiddos avoid green peas for the same reason, especially my younger one, he can navigate around peas in his food.

    Green peas can be made into a finger-licking subzi by adding proper spices to it. This green peas masala is a delicious gravy, which can be served with rice and roti.
