ABOUT Masale Wale Matar RECIPE

This Green Pea delicious item is one of the most favoured in the city of Lucknow. In the Winter season when fresh and sweet bushels of Green Peas flood the markets, they are bought by the Kilo and the ladies of the house sit down in the afternoon after having lunch and after having finished their daily chores. They then gossip about news of their friends, relatives and the whole world as they shell the Peas, eating the sweet and green pearls at the same time. By evening they would be having a huge pan of fresh peas just waiting to be cooked to a tender deliciousness in the multiple recipes they make! These lovely spiced peas can be had any time of the day!
