  4. Add the peas, carrots,cloves and all the powders ( except salt and pepper)
  5. Fry for another 4 minutes.
  6. Now add the vegetable broth, cover the pan and allow it to cook till the vegetables are tender.
  7. Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
  8. Remove the cloves and puree the  mixture in blender .
