As a child, I loved helping my extended family shell the peas to make this simple, fresh and delicious recipe. Many winter afternoons in Delhi were spent sitting in the warmth of the sun with a huge stack of fresh peas, discussing the really important issues of life, such as what should accompany the green peas at dinner! To do justice to the delicate flavours of this dish, you should really use fresh peas. You can use frozen peas, but the results will not be as good. Also, eat it on its own so you can taste every element.
