Whole Yellow Peas for Ragda, Matar Chaat and Shared Family Meals

Natco Yellow Peas Whole - 2kg is a pack of dried whole yellow peas for spiced pea dishes, soups and stews. The round peas develop a soft centre and a mild, earthy flavour when thoroughly cooked, pairing with ginger, cumin, tomato and tangy chutneys. These are whole dried peas, distinct from split yellow peas, chana dal, fresh green peas and canned peas. The 2kg bag is an uncooked ingredient that can be measured out for individual recipes or larger pots.

Why Choose Natco Yellow Peas Whole?

The whole-pea format offers different finishes, from tender individual peas in a curry to a softer, thicker ragda. Lightly mash a portion of the fully cooked peas to give a sauce more body while leaving the rest intact. Their mild flavour works with warming masalas and sharper lemon or tamarind accompaniments added to the finished dish. The 2kg pack suits regular pea cooking and shared meals, with unused dry peas kept tightly sealed between recipes.

Sort through the peas and rinse thoroughly before preparation. Follow the current pack instructions or a recipe specifically intended for dried whole yellow peas for soaking, draining and cooking. Cook with sufficient fresh water until fully tender, checking the centres and adding liquid as needed. Whole and split peas can behave differently during preparation, so adjust the recipe rather than treating them as direct substitutes. For larger quantities, use a suitably sized pan and maintain enough cooking liquid. If pressure cooking, follow the appliance's liquid requirements and capacity guidance. Do not eat the peas raw or undercooked.

Serving Suggestions

  • Cook until soft and lightly mash with spices for ragda to serve with potato patties.
  • Use fully cooked peas in matar chaat with onion, tamarind chutney and chaat masala.
  • Prepare spiced whole peas for matar kulcha, finishing with lemon and fresh coriander.
  • Simmer tender cooked peas in an onion-and-tomato masala for a whole-pea curry.
  • Add fully cooked yellow peas to vegetable soups or stews for a hearty texture.
