Dhaba style preparations are always a treat for palates,… sizzling tandoori, kebabs and smoky masalas..literally makes us addicted to Punjabi food. Here's an easy preparation for one such dish…Green peas cooked in rich tomato gravy with special blend of Punjabi spices.

My quick pick was Chole masala, which has got a strong blend of all the punjabli spices and suits well for this recipe.
