Ghee Rice & Peas gravy


Ghee Rice & Peas gravy this combo goes well for lunch, spicy Peas & potato gravy blends well with plain ghee rice or Jeera rice.

Children love ghee rice as its flavorful than plain rice &

for children little gravy is enough to hide some vegetables & serve

They love the idea of peas & potato & usually call this 
combo Pav bhaji
(Peas gravy served with bread).

So I was delighted to make this Ghee Rice & Peas gravy 

combo & little one ate as if its Pav bhaji & no doubt this 

disguise worked fine!!
