Notes
Usal Masala is totally optional. You can add garam masala also.
Serve the Sev and other toppings on the side. It becomes soggy if you add it before serving and helps people customize it according to their taste.
Green Peas beans can be easily steamed in a pot with some water. It takes longer to cook them about 45 minutes. I pressure cook them so its easier. Did you try this recipe? Tag @pistachiodoughnut and hashtag #pistachiodoughnutrecipes
