green peas masala

I have already shared kerala style green peas curry with coconut milk.  This is another restaurant style green peas masala which we all love at home.  Today, we had some guests and I made green peas curry to go along with chapati and jeera rice.
I have made this restaurant style green peas masala, in the same way I make paneer butter masala.  But I have not used any cream or butter here in this recipe.  I have used a quarter cup of milk to give it a creamy taste.
Serve green peas masala with roti, chapati, naan or with jeera rice.
