Notes

White peas are dried. So, they need to be soaked for 5-6 hours or overnight for use in this chat. If you forget to soak the peas overnight or don't have the option to soak them for long time, you can soak them in hot water for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
You can keep leftover white peas in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. You can also freeze them for 1-2 months. Before using them again just defrost in the microwave and enjoy it.
White Peas are good source of fiber and protein, and are also vegan. Hence a great option to enjoy any day of the week.
I have made this recipe using my Instant Pot 6QT Duo60 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker.
