Tips:
As a variation, the green peas and potatoes can be cooked before hand and then tossed in the seasoning. Cover and simmer for 4-5 minutes for the flavors to blend well with the potatoes and peas. Green chillies can be increased or decreased. Keep extra hot water ready in case the vegetables are not cooked. This dish can be cooked in pressure cooker for about 2-3 whistles.
