Step 3Add the green peas, coriander leaves, water and cook for about 2 min. Add the ghee and fresh curry leaves at the end Take out from the Stove.
- Fresh tomatoes can also be used. Substitute with 4 tomatoes. Place tomatoes in the hot water for 3 min, peel it’s skin and grind it in to a fine paste and add them.
- Hard green peas also can be used, Cook them before adding it to the gravy.
- Adding fresh curry leaves at the end is must to get the nice aroma like in dhaba.
- If you want it little more watery add water 1/4 cup.
(*) When you finish cooking, gravy smell fills ur house. Good combo with Roti, Chapathi, Naan and any variety rice for parties.

Channa masala gives the strong spice smell, so it would taste better with it. Otherwise try with garam masala if you have.
