Pigeon peas are also known as Whole Red Gram , Arhur or Kache Toor ke beej in Hindi, Thuvarai in Tamil and in Odia it's Kancha Kandula Manji or Harada Manji.
Mostly we use dry peas by soaking process. But I got some raw pigeon peas on this season.
My mom makes with jackfruit , potatoes and dry pigeon peas masala curry which is my favourite. Due to the season jackfruit is not available in market so I prefer using the fresh beans pairing it with only potatos in a thick gravy .
It tastes great when made with fresh peas.
