Peas and egg curry

The pea season is almost over yes they are available in plenty during the winter months, they are so easy and tasty as well.I stored two zipper bags full of them last year in the freezer and I was surprised at how handy they were at times!

This is one such easy curry to go with your breads.

I have to make some gravy/sabji everyday because we are a chapati loving family.So I almost never make similar gravies I just find it interesting to try new ones.The same old masalas and ingredients but prepared differently can also give us a good change in menu.

I have made this curry like an egg drop curry it tasted really nice with the chapatis.
