peas puri

Method
Grind peas, ginger and chilies to a smooth paste. Powder the aniseeds and add to this
paste.
Heat oil in a pan, add asafoetida. When this gives an aroma, immediately add the peas
paste and fry till the paste becomes quite dry and leaves the sides of the pan. Add salt as
required, stir well and remove.
Add a little water and ghee to the flour and knead to make a soft dough. Make small balls
of the dough, flatten with a rolling pin.
Place a portion of the pea paste in the middle, enfold the filling, and pinch off the excess
dough. Then roll out the puris.
Deep fry in oil on both sides until fluffy and golden brown.
