How to store Peas?

Neha’s mother has shared with us how to store peas to cook all year round.

In the following video, she had recorded the step-by-step procedure for us  to follow:

Steps to store peas:

• Blanch the peas in boiling water.
• Drain the water and dip the peas in ice-cold water immediately.
• After washing them in cold water, leave them for drying.
• After a while, pat the peas dry with a soft dry kitchen towel.
• And that’s it… the peas are now ready to be stored. Use an air-tight, zip lock bag to keep the peas in the fridge.

These are as good or, in fact, better than the frozen peas that you get in the market. So, what are you waiting for? Grab some kilos of peas and get your family on the mission of pealing them. Once this tricky part is over, you will be ready to savour green peas paratha, peas kachori, or add it as a taste enhancer of our other dishes like cauliflower, paneer, etc., through the year.
