Punjabi Mini Thali - Green Peas Masala


For day 2 themed under the Thali in Blogging Marathon#74 edition is a mini Punjabi thali.
Punjabi cuisine is the most likely Indian cuisine among my kids.As most of their favorite dishes in this cuisine.
When I wanted to share the Punjabi thali,decided to do an elaborate one.But due to other personal work, I made a mini thali.

The mini thali has

1.Butter naan
2.Matar/green peas Masala(recipe follows)
3.Jeera rice
4.Dhal
5.Raitha with onion,carrot and tomato
6.Punjabi PanchrangaaPickle(store bought)
7..Gajar ka Halwa/Carrot halwa
8.Sweet lassi

I often make this creamy green peas masala  to pair up with either rotis or naan.This recipe of green peas masala tastes good even without cream and milk.Since I had some cream I used it for just garnishing sake.Lets move on to the recipe............
