I have got ample quantity of fresh green peas in Refridgerator. So thought of preparing this tempting masala that serves as a best combination for Roti, Poori and even we can have it along with Rice.. Peas are low in calories and no cholestrol. So, do try this tasty and easy dish.

STEPS:

1. Chop the onion and Tomato and keep aside. Grind all the items mentioned in the "To Grind" Section to a fine paste and keep aside.
