In a small pan, add 1 small stick of cinnamon.
Add 4-5 cloves.
Dry roast on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes.

Cool and grind it using a mortar-pestle (khalbatta) to a smooth powder. Keep aside.
Heat 4 tbsp ghee in a deep non-stick kadhai. Ghee has a rich, nutty flavor that enhances the flavor of the other ingredients in the dish. Ghee has a pleasant aroma that makes the dish more appealing.
Add 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions. Onions add a savory and slightly sweet flavor to the dish. They also help to balance out the richness of the cream and the sweetness of the peas. Onions add a slightly crunchy texture to the dish, which contrasts nicely with the soft peas and creamy gravy.
Sauté on a slow flame for 10 to 12 minutes or till they turn brown in colour.
Add 1 cup finely chopped tomatoes. Tomatoes add a bright, tangy flavor to the dish that complements the other ingredients well. The acidity in tomatoes helps to balance out the richness of the cream in the dish.

Add 2 tsp garlic (lehsun) paste.
Add 1 tsp ginger (adrak) paste.
Add 1 tsp green chilli paste.
Add ½ tsp chilli powder.

Add a pinch of asafoetida.
Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes, while stirring continuously.
Add ¼ cup fresh cream. Fresh cream adds a rich and creamy flavor to the dish. It also helps to balance out the spiciness of the other ingredients.
Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring continuously or till the fat separates from the gravy.
