Cauliflower-Green Peas-Potato Curry

Winter has begun & I can see some winter special veggies appearing in the market. Fresh green peas, carrots for Gajar ka Halwa are always awaited for!! I always wonder about how do I get out of stock of the green peas which I pick & freeze in every winter with a view of using them throughout the year & end up finishing them even before 6 months. Many of you will agree with this sad story..isn't it? Posting a very simple curry today, but anything served hot always sounds delicious in this cold weather.
