It is winter time! Season for fresh Green Peas, Mustard green (Sarson ka Sag), Makkai Roti!
Green Peas brings a nice color to the dish it is added. But as they are seasonal and is available during winter season, we can store them in our freezer for the off season and use it all around the year.

Our ancestors used different methods viz., Pickling Preserve, Sun Dried etc for storing certain seasonal fruit / vegetable.
Sharing with you the way to store the fresh peas in frozen form for the off seasons (thanks to refrigerators!) to make your recipes always special!
Separate the pearls from the pea pod
Pour water in a vessel that is enough to immerse the peas.
Keep some cold water in another vessel as we may need it once peas are blanched to stop the cooking process.
Bring the water to boil and reduce the flame.
Put the peas in it and boil for exact two minutes.
Turn off the flame and drain the water immediately.
Add it to the cold water and leave it till the peas becomes cool.
Spread a clean towel and spread the Peas over it and let it dry.
Store in a ziplock pack and freeze it!
Tada! the Green Peas is ready for your off sesaonal usage!
