Steps
Heat the oil in a medium sauce-pan or stock pot over medium-low to medium heat and then sweat the onions, garlic, and ginger until the onions are translucent and softened.
Sort and rinse the peas to ensure there are no small rocks or clumps of dirt. Add the peas to the pan with the aromatics and add enough water to cover by a coupe of inches.
Add the turmeric and salt then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for one hour.
Add the potatoes and garam masala and cook for 10 minutes.
Add the carrots, celery, and celery leaves and cook for 10 minutes.
