Chef's Notes
Cooking time for dried peas varies wildly based on their vintage. Fresh harvest peas cook in three whistles, while ancient pantry stowaways might demand five whistles. Always sample a pea before tossing into the tempering.
Pro Tip
Never cook the freshly grated coconut over high flame. Always add it right after extinguishing the heat—the residual warmth softens the coconut milk within the flesh without releasing heavy oils.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
The Sandy Pea Explosion: throwing unsoaked or undercooked peas into scorching oil turns them into rock-hard bullets that will ruin your teeth and your reputation.

The Culinary Science
Soaking rehydrates the cotyledons and dissolves complex oligosaccharides like raffinose into the water, preventing digestive distress while ensuring heat transfers uniformly during cooking so peas don't blow open.
