Notes
- Soak the green peas in advance for at least 6 hours or overnight to ensure they cook evenly and become soft.
- Another variation is to pressure cook the peas separately, prepare the seasoning in a different pan, and then combine them for a slightly different flavor and texture.
- For another version, add diced potatoes as they absorb the spices beautifully and add a delicious twist.
- Soaked dried green peas usually need about 5 to 6 whistles in the pressure cooker. However, this can vary depending on the type of peas and your cooker. Adjust the cooking time as needed to avoid overcooking or undercooking.
