Fresh green peas are fried or sautéed with household seasonings and paired with chura. Some plates keep the two distinct; others let the chura catch the oil and masala from the peas.

It is especially suited to the cool-weather season when fresh peas are abundant, but the amount of spice, onion and garnish belongs to the cook.
