Dry Peas Masala

I have made many dishes with fresh green peas or the frozen ones, but was new to dry peas and usually made Ragda Pattice with them "'which is huge hit in my family'" thinking that this is the only dish i can make with them. I have even made samosa ragda with them which also turned out to be a hit. 

But one day, i thought why not give it a try and make something different with these dry peas and that's how i ended up making this side dish and even this has become one of our favourite. We love to have it with roti.

Check out this simple and tasty side dish with very simple ingredients that can be found in your pantry.

1 inch Cinnamon
2 Cloves
