Instructions

Notes
Make it less spicy: Skip the green chili and reduce red chili powder.
Which Green chili to use? I typically use Thai, Birdeye or Serrano Chili Pepper in my recipes. Don't forget to adjust to your taste.
Green peas: I used frozen green peas in this recipe. Fresh green peas will work well too.
Use tomato puree: I just chopped the tomatoes, but you can also puree them to get a smoother gravy.
Kasoori Methi: For added flavor, you can also add kasoori methi when adding other spices.
Created: This recipe was created in a 6qt Instant Pot DUO60 Multi-use Programmable Pressure Cooker.
