Natco Green Peas Whole - 500g is a pack of dried whole green peas for cooking into spiced pea dishes, soups and stews. When thoroughly cooked, the peas develop a soft centre and a mild, earthy flavour that pairs with tomato, ginger, garlic and cumin. These are whole dried peas, distinct from split green peas, fresh or frozen garden peas and canned peas. This 500g bag is an uncooked ingredient requiring preparation and cooking before serving.
The whole-pea format adds individual pieces to a curry or cooked chaat rather than the smoother finish associated with split-pea dishes. Leave fully cooked peas intact for texture, or lightly mash a portion into the cooking liquid to give a sauce more body. Their mild flavour works with warming masalas and tangy lemon or tamarind accompaniments added to the finished dish. Measure out each recipe's quantity 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 green peas for soaking, draining and cooking. Cook in sufficient fresh water until fully tender, checking the centres and adding liquid as needed. Whole dried peas need different preparation from fresh, frozen or canned peas, so do not substitute them directly into recipes written for those formats. If pressure cooking, follow the appliance's liquid requirements and capacity guidance. Judge readiness by texture rather than a fixed time alone, and do not eat the peas raw or undercooked.
