Nitra Green Peas (Dried)

About this item

Dried green peas for ragda and curries. Nitra Green Peas are whole dried green peas, known as sukhe matar, a pantry staple for Mumbai street food and home curries.

Why cooks choose it

Once soaked and cooked, the peas soften to a creamy, mealy texture that thickens gravies naturally. They are the base of ragda for ragda pattice, spicy matar usal and hearty soups, and they pair well with paneer in a home-style curry.

What to cook with it

• Ragda pattice
• Matar usal
• Matar paneer
• Green pea and mint soup

How to cook

Soak overnight. Pressure-cook with fresh water, salt and turmeric for 4 to 5 whistles until soft. For ragda, mash lightly and simmer with spices until thick.

Pack sizes

Available in 500 g and 1 kg packs.

Storage
