Notes

1. If you are using dry peas, you need to soak them overnight and cook them in a pressure cooker.
2. Tf you can use frozen peas, use the smaller variety, they are sweeter in taste.
3. If you are using home made cream, whip it well.
4. Adding all these ingredients is mandatory to get a good taste of the dish
5. Frozen Methi leaves can be used
