Palak fresh Peas chat| Palak matar chat
This is one of our most favourite chat among many chat items, which almost tastes like Bengaluru’s Masal Puri ! I consider this as a healthy chat.
And this time I tried making this more healthy using spinach/Palak in the gravy. Taste doesn’t differ instead it was more yummy.
We can put any Peas ie…. dried peas or fresh ones. Its just if you are using dried Peas, then you need to soak it overnight and then proceed with the recipe procedure.
So Gladly sharing the recipe with you all. Below you can find the recipe explained in detail with step wise pics.
