Green Peas Masala

Green Peas Masala is my favorite dosa side dish. Actually my mother - in-law use to make this very well. I just learned the perfect version from her & tried this week. It came out exactly like hers but my daughter liked only my version and she told her aachi( grand ma) also that but the way she told was very funny. So her aachi laughed & chased her for the whole day....:-)
