Method

Wash and soak the dried green peas overnight.

Drain the water, add it to the pressure cooker, add fresh water, required salt and pressure cook for 3-4 whistles. Switch off the stove and keep it aside. Open the pressure cooker after all the steam has released.

Meanwhile chop the onions, tomatoes, green chillies and keep it aside.

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a kadai, add fennel seeds, cinnamon sticks, cloves and fry for 20-30 seconds until nice aroma fills the room. 

Add curry leaves and fry along with it.

Add finely chopped onions, green chillies and sauté well until the onions turn golden brown colour.

Now add the ginger and garlic paste and sauté until the raw smell vanishes.

Add tomatoes and saute until they turn mushy.

Now add red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and little salt and mix everything well. 

Fry for few seconds until raw smell vanishes, add little water and let it boil for 5 minutes.

Add the cooked dried green peas with cooked liquid and give a good stir. Let everything cook well for 10-12 minutes.

Add besan flour to a small bowl add about ½ cup water and mix really well. Make sure there are no lumps.

After the green peas have cooked really well along with the masala, add the besan flour mixture and stir everything really well. Let it cook for about 5 -7 minutes and switch off the stove. Adjust the consistency of the masala according to your requirement.

Adding besan flour will thicken the gravy and give a very good texture for the masala.
