After cooling down your cooker under a tap take out your basket of peas and leave on a plate for later.
The skin off your tomatoes should have fallen off in the pan, take them out and throw them away with any hard stem left on the tomato.

Nice healthy food. Looks comforting. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I have noticed lately that you use peppers/capsicum a lot in your recipes...thats really colourful...
Nice curry with chanadal +_+
Healthy and yummy indeed! Easy one pot dish too:))
Be careful when you are cooking dal directly in the cooker,so dal doesn't block the vent.I always use a smaller bowl inside with dal and water and cover with a lid,them pressure cook.
It's my first time here. Awesome blog. How do u find time to blog everyday with 3 kids??? Hats off to u :).
A healthy version Jeena. Viji
Hey let's exchange links:
Tico Food is my blog's name. It's about Costa Rican food. The link is: http://ticofood.blogspot.com
I haven't update the recipes since July but I promise I will do it when I find new and interesting ones. Problem is, I already covered most of the traditional Costa Rican dishes and it gets harder and harder to find interesting variations to add.
very healthy cooking indeed! but i think u need a little bit of oil for the nutrients to get absorbed in the body. good recipe!
that sounds new to me. very delicious and innovative recipe.
