  3. 3 Add minced ginger and garlic and pureed tomatoes, and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. 4 Season with turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt, add 150 ml of water, then add the peas and cook for 8 minutes.

With an appliance

  • Microwave 38 min

    Replace step 4: toss the peas in the covered sauce bowl at 800 W for 5 minutes; reduce this to about 3 minutes, as boiling is not necessary and the peas retain their color well. Add the pancake in step 5 and toss for 2 minutes.
