Green Peas / Pachai Pattani 500gm
In ancient agricultural systems, Green Peas (or Pachai Pattani) were cultivated not just as food, but as "soil healers" that fixed nitrogen back into the earth. While modern frozen or canned peas are often treated with sodium salts and artificial green dyes to maintain color, Ayini Organic Green Peas are sun-dried and kept in their raw, unpolished state. This preserves the natural legume starch and complex phytonutrients that support metabolic steady-state and long-term digestive vitality.

💡 How to Prepare / Use
Since these are unpolished, dried peas (not frozen), they require traditional rehydration to unlock their buttery texture and nutritional benefits.
The Essential Soak: Rinse the peas thoroughly and soak them in water for 8–10 hours. Pro Tip: Adding a small pinch of baking soda to the soaking water is an old kitchen secret to help soften the outer skin of unpolished peas more effectively.
The Precision Boil: Drain the soaking water and add fresh water (3:1 ratio). Pressure cook for 4–5 whistles on medium heat. They should be tender enough to mash easily but still retain their spherical shape.
Serve & Enjoy:
Traditional: Simmer with aromatic spices to create a classic Pattani Kurma or a street-style Ragda.
Modern: Blend boiled peas into a vibrant, high-protein "Green Pea Hummus" or add to hearty vegetable stews.
Snack: Toss boiled peas with lemon, chaat masala, and fresh coriander for a low-calorie, high-protein evening snack.
