Heat a frying pan and sauté the onions oil. Once they turn mild golden color.

Add the tomato puree, turmeric, cumin powder, salt and red chilli powder. And sauté until tomatoes are cooked. Add 1/2 cup water to loosen the gravy a little bit, so that it’s not too thick

TIP: For the Peas to remain green and to taste sweet add, sugar and salt during the cooking process. The peas has to be completely submerged in water while cooking, this prevents it from popping/breaking into half. See Cooking Vegetables on different ways you can cook peas.
