This recipe is based on one from Vegetarian Times, but substitutes olive oil for the ghee (clarified butter) and adds more water. Two nice things about this recipe, it is quick, and the peas are added at the end so they are a nice fresh green and sweet when the dish is served.
Note: if you have never used a pressure cooker, this is a good time to try it. Greatly speeds up the cooking, and no, they don’t explode.

1 large onion, chopped (2 cups)
