Chef's Notes
Do not rush the soaking process of the white peas. Hard peas equal heartbreak, and we do not do heartbreak in this kitchen. Treat your spices with respect, and they will sing to your palate.
Pro Tip
When you mash the peas in Step 5, only mash about half of them. You want a glorious contrast of creamy puréed texture and whole, bite-sized peas.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you walk away while the spices are blooming in the oil, you will return to a pitch-black cloud of acrid smoke, a smoke alarm singing the song of its people, and a ruined dinner.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
The Jester wonders if the peas are actually hiding from the chef because they know their fate involves being unceremoniously mashed in a kadai.
The Culinary Science
Soaking legumes in water overnight breaks down complex oligosaccharides—the stubborn little sugars responsible for digestive discomfort. Science makes street food friendly!
