Whole Yellow Peas for Ragda, Matar Chaat and Warming Curries

Natco Yellow Peas Whole - 500g is a pack of dried whole yellow peas for cooking into 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, not split yellow peas, chana dal, fresh green peas or canned peas. This 500g bag requires preparation and cooking before serving.

Why Choose Natco Yellow Peas Whole?

The whole-pea format gives you a choice of finishes, from tender individual peas to a softer, thicker mixture. Cook and lightly mash them for ragda, or leave more peas intact for a textured curry or chaat. Their mild flavour works with a warming masala as well as sharper lemon and tamarind accompaniments added to the finished dish. Portion the 500g bag for each recipe and keep the remaining dry peas tightly sealed.

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 do not substitute them without adjusting the recipe. For a thicker ragda-style finish, gently mash part of the fully cooked mixture. 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 pea curry.
• Add fully cooked yellow peas to vegetable soups or stews for a hearty texture.
