Vatana Usal Preparation Method

• The white peas are soaked in 1½ cup of water for minimum of 5-6 hours.
• Cook the peas with soaked water in a pressure cooker to 2 whistles.
•  In a skillet add oil and heat.
• Add onions, chopped tomatoes and ginger-garlic paste and let them fry with frequent stirring till the mix starts to leave oil. This takes about 10 minutes.
• Add coriander powder, garam masala, cumin powder, red chilli powder and salt. 
• Now, add the white peas along with the mixture and add water.
• Let it boil and cover the skillet with a lid and leave it for 20-25 minutes on low flame with frequent stirring so that the peas do not stick.
