RAW PIGEON PEAS AND POTATO CURRY

Pigeon peas are the main bean which turned out lentils and used to make the popular recipe all over in India is "Dal".
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.

4 Potatoes
1 Cup fresh pigeon peas
2 Chopped Tomatoes
2 Sliced Onions
1 tsp Ginger/garlic paste
½ tsp Curry masala
½ tsp Garam masala
