boiled fresh green peas. Peas bring a natural sweetness and refreshing flavor to the curry, balancing the richness of the gravy and potatoes. This sweetness comes from natural sugars present in the peas and complements the savory spices beautifully.

The primary reason for adding water is to achieve the desired thickness of the gravy. Some prefer a thin, soupy korma, while others like it thicker and richer. The amount of water directly affects this aspect.
