Ingredients:
- ¼ cup blanched green peas
- 3 medium potatoes, boiled and peeled
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 tsp oil
- 1 tsp finely chopped ginger
- 1 chopped green chilli
- Salt to taste
- ¼ tsp garam masala powder
- 1½ cups + 2 refined flour (maida)
- 2 tbsp ghee
- ¼ tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
- Green chutney for serving
Method:
- Begin by dry roasting the coriander and cumin seeds until they emit a fragrance. Coarsely grind them afterwards.
- In a non-stick pan, warm up the oil. Toss in the ginger and green chilli, sautéing them for a brief moment. Add the green peas and mashed potatoes, mixing thoroughly.
- Introduce the coarsely ground spice blend, salt, and garam masala powder. Use a masher to blend everything together.
- Shift the mixture to a plate and let it cool down to room temperature.
- To craft the dough, spread 1½ cups of refined flour on a plate. Combine ghee, carom seeds, salt, and half a cup of water, kneading it all into a firm dough. Protect it with a damp muslin cloth and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
- For the slurry, blend the remaining refined flour with 3-4 tablespoons of water in a bowl until smooth.
- Lightly oil your working surface. Grab a piece of the dough and roll it out thinly. Trim its sides to fashion a rectangle.
- Layer a bit of the filling on the rectangle’s upper half. Create vertical slits at equal distances on the lower half. Start rolling it from the top, connecting both ends to shape a ring, sealing it using the slurry.
- Fill a frying pan with oil and heat it up. Cautiously place a few rings in and deep-fry them at a low flame until they become golden brown and crispy. Use absorbent paper to drain the excess oil.
- Lay the fried rings on a serving tray and pair them with hot green chutney for a delightful experience!
