Green Peas Masala

We have traditionally thought about green peas as a ‘starchy vegetable’ that can’t provide much in the way of nutrition. But it’s time to change our thinking.  Green peas are fully loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients. The major health benefits of green peas are support for blood sugar regulation, heart health promotion and protection against stomach cancer. So include a lot of green peas in your diet, especially in your breakfast.
Here I am sharing with you a simple recipe of Green Peas Masala which is well suited with chappathi , puri and even puttu also.

Fish molly

Fish Molly is a very popular Kerala style fish curry which is mostly served with appam. But my vote is always for ghee rice+ fish molly combination, the taste is just awesome.
