Everytime I cook white-peas in pressure cooker, the skin just falls off and it's a tough job separating all the skins from the peas !!
I have tried keeping for one whistle only, and also don't add salt to them while cooking. This problem I have only with this, not with chickpeas or any other legume.
Any advise / suggestions pleas ?

Hello Indu,
When you soak white peas, add a pinch of soda.
If you pressure cook after that, the skin will be very soft and won't bother while consuming food.
The trick lies in softning the outer skin of peas by the above process.
Try and tell me how it turned out.
You use addition of cooking soda while soaking of Rajma, Val, Beans, Kabuli channa etc.

Hai Minni

I assume that you are talking about Jaggery rice payasam . This is how I do it.

I cook rice mashing consistency , then I make a syrup out of the jaggery add it to the mashed rice and mix it without any lumps . Then I add milk and wait till all the ingredients mix well . Then garnish with nuts


I hope this will do

Hi Priya,
Yes, I was talking about the same. So basically, you cook rice in plain water, and make syrup of jaggery with water again, and combine both of them under medium heat and then add milk and let it simmer for few minutes???

Thanks.
