Chef Neha Deepak Shah took to Instagram to share a detailed process of how you can store green peas without any preservatives.
1. Adding baking soda is optional but it helps retain the bright colour of the peas. 2. Drying the peas is very important. This will ensure that the peas do not clump together and stay separate when frozen.
1. Boil 3-4 litres of water in a saucepan. 2. Once it is bubbling hot, add 1 tbsp salt, 2 tsp sugar, and 1 pinch of baking soda.
3. Then, add the green peas & blanch for just 2 minutes.
4. Immediately transfer the peas into ice-cold water.
5. Pat them dry with a cotton cloth.
6. Transfer it into a ziplock bag and add a date to it. 7. Keep it in the freezer and you’re done!
