Now this recipe is inspired by my green peas soup. The soup was creamy and buttery, and had all the potential to be a good gravy base for vegetables. Today, I set out making green peas base curry and it turned out super delicious.

The gravy mainly has peas and tomato pureed and finished with spices. I added whole peas and potato to the gravy. The potato was also marinated and cooked separately and then added. This step is optional and the potatoes can be added as-is. You can even add paneer, carrots, gobi, mushroom or mix of vegetables to the gravy.

This gravy is different from the regular tomato-onion gravy. Peas infuses its own flavour to the gravy, also giving it a texture. You can add some cream for rich taste. I have used butter in the entire preparation, You can skip butter and add oil of your preference. Try this recipe, for, its different from the usual gravy. The gravy makes a good side for roti, naan, ghee rice or steamed rice.
