Recipes with peas and yogurt
Mostly mains: 44 of the 61 recipes with a course label are mains.
Some of these have the ingredient list only, without the method. Where we have the original source, the recipe page links to it.
The count of 227 includes every recipe our index matched to both foods, some through an alternative or a related ingredient. This list is shorter because it shows only recipes whose ingredient lines name both. Open a few to see how they are used.
Can you swap one for the other?
No. Peas and yogurt are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
