Ingredients ::
- - 250 gms. Green Peas
- - 1 cup White Flour
- - 1 Cup Cooking Oil
- - 1 inch piece Ginger

With the on set of winter sweet green peas are available in plenty. This is one of my very favourite stuff that we often eat at Sunday brunches.
1. Sift flour (Maida) and add 1/4 tsp salt. Rub 2 table spoon of cooking oil and knead to a soft dough adding little water as required. This is the same type of dough that you make for rotis or puris.
2. Grind peas, ginger, green chilies, aniseeds to a fine paste. I use an electric mixie to do the job. Make sure that it is a nice smooth paste. Stray unmashed peas may cause a blister while katchoris are being fried & oil will get in to.
3. Heat one table spoon of oil and fry asafetida for about 20 seconds. Add the ground peas paste and salt. Fry well till the paste is cooked & easily come off the edge of the pan.. Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
4. Divide dough into 8 balls. Press each ball in the center and fill in the peas mixture. Close the opening and flatten. Roll into round pancakes.
5. Heat about 1-1/2 cup of cooking oil. Deep fry one at a time. Reduce heat and fry till golden brown. Drain and remove and serve hot.
6. Serve with Dum Aloo & tomato chutney.
