  4. Stir in ginger+garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, chaat masala and cook for 1~2 minutes.
  5. Next add chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and salt. Cook covered till tomatoes are soft and mushy.
  6. Add the cooked peas and 1cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 4~5 minutes.
  7. Finally add the whisked yogurt and mix well. Simmer for 2~3 minutes and turn off the heat.
