- As the water comes to a boil, turn heat to low and cook peas till soft and set aside.

- Check heat by adding cumin seeds to the oil; if it crackles right away, oil is ready. Add in black mustard and cumin seeds.
- As they crackle, add peanuts and stir for a bit.
- Pour in sooji and stir-fry on medium heat till it turns golden. Also add in salt as per taste.
- Now add in those green peas with water a little at a time.
