Now add green peas and required amount of salt and a cup of water and cover the pan with a lid. Let it cook for 5 minutes and by this time the green peas will get cooked. Open the lid and add the cooked potatoes to it and let it cook until the masala coats over the potatoes and the gravy thickens to the required consistency. Garnish it with chopped coriander leaves.

Event for the Month of September and the Theme is Chicken

I thank all my blogger friends first of all, who wished for my son Amiitesh's birthday and he enjoyed a lot on that day with all my relatives and particularly during the function time. Amiitesh got up by 5.15am itself on that day and went to bed only by 11pm and he don't want to miss to play with his grand parents and uncles. He was very eager to cut the cake from the time we received it from the bakery. He looked so smart on that day and we had a blast of happiness. He was more eager to see the gift packs he received for his birthday and started playing with them immediately as soon as we unpack the gifts. And thank you all again who showered my son with their blessings.
