If you have never tried making Green Peas Stir-fry / Green Peas Poriyal / Pachai Pattani Poriyal, you really should! If I’m out of fresh vegetables to make a side-dish to pair up with rice, I turn to my trusty freezer and pick up the bag of frozen green peas.
This is one of the easiest side dishes to make on any day of the week to pair it up with a lunch meal. This quick and delicious vegetable side dish adds color and nutrition to your meal. In this recipe, I have used lemon juice to add extra flavor to the dish to make it a little tangy. You can also check my Carrot Peas kootu / Carrot Peas Stir-fry for more side dish ideas.

Notes
- We already added salt to the green peas while boiling it, so add more salt only if needed while adding the masala.
- Don’t overcook green peas for a long time while boiling. It will become too mushy.
- You can even skip pepper powder if you don’t like it while adding masalas.
