Ingredients
500g green peas
4 tbsp gram flour
4 green chilies, chopped
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
1/3 tsp red chili powder
1/3 tsp black pepper powder
a pinch of sodium bicarbonate
oil for frying

Method
Boil the peas with 1/2 cup of salted water in a vessel until tender. Cool and mash it.
Mix the gram flour, green chilies, coriander leaves, salt, red chili and black pepper
powders, sodium bicarbonate and knead to a smooth mixture.
Heat sufficient oil for frying, wet the palm of your hand with little water so that the mixture
does not stick, take a little mixture and form flat balls out of it. Make a small hole in the
center of the ball by piercing with your finger.
Gently drop them one by one into the oil and fry until they are golden brown on both
sides.
Serve hot with peanut or mint chutney.
