Natco Green Peas Whole - 2kg is a bag of dried whole green peas for preparing spiced curries, cooked pea dishes and warming soups. Their mild, earthy flavour pairs with onion, tomato, ginger and cumin, while the whole peas give a more distinct shape than split peas before they soften further with cooking. These are dried peas requiring preparation and thorough cooking, not fresh or frozen garden peas, canned peas or green mung beans.
The whole-pea format suits recipes where the peas form the main ingredient rather than simply thickening a sauce. Cook until fully tender for a textured curry or chaat, or continue cooking and mash a portion for a thicker finish. Their gentle flavour gives you room to vary the spices, from a cumin-and-garlic base to a tangy tamarind dressing added to cooked peas. The 2kg pack can be measured out across several recipes, with the remaining dry peas kept tightly sealed.
Sort through the peas and rinse thoroughly before preparation. Follow the current pack instructions or a recipe specifically intended for dried whole green peas for soaking, draining and cooking requirements. After any required soaking, drain and cook in sufficient fresh water until the peas are tender throughout; soaking alone does not make them ready to eat. Maintain enough liquid during cooking and check the centres rather than relying on surface softness. For a chaat, fully cook the peas before combining them with chutneys and other accompaniments. If pressure cooking, follow the appliance's guidance for pulses, liquid quantities and maximum fill level.
