Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Semolina Dough

   In a pan, add 2 bowls of water, 1 teaspoon chili flakes, 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/4 teaspoon carom seeds, 1.5 teaspoons sesame seeds, salt to taste, and 1/2 teaspoon Kasuri methi. Bring to a boil. Add 1 bowl of semolina and mix well until it thickens and leaves the sides of the pan, forming a dough. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate.

2. 2.Prepare Pea Filling

   In a chopper, add boiled peas, 3 green chilies, a 1-inch piece of ginger, and 1/4 cup green coriander. Chop finely. Transfer the chopped mixture to a bowl. Add 1/2 bowl roasted gram flour, 1/2 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon chaat masala, and salt to taste.

3. 3.Temper the Filling

   Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small pan. Add 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes, 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds, 1/4 teaspoon fenugreek seeds, 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, a pinch of asafoetida, and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder. Pour the hot tempering over the pea mixture. Add a pinch of sugar and mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

4. 4.Form Pea Balls

   Take small portions of the pea filling and roll them into small, compact balls. Set aside on a plate.

5. 5.Stuff and Shape Patties

   Knead the cooled semolina dough again. Take a small portion of the semolina dough and flatten it into a disc in your palm. Place one pea ball in the center of the semolina disc. Carefully bring the edges of the semolina dough together to seal the pea filling inside. Gently flatten and shape it into a round patty. Repeat this process for all the remaining dough and filling.

6. 6.Steam the Patties

   Prepare a steamer by adding water to the bottom and placing a perforated plate on top. Arrange the prepared patties on the steamer plate, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cover the steamer and steam the patties for 15 minutes until they are puffed up and cooked through.

7. 7.Shallow Fry the Patties

   Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of oil. Spread the oil evenly. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and chili flakes on the pan. Carefully place the steamed patties on the hot pan. Drizzle a little oil on top of each patty. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy.

8. 8.Serve

   Once cooked, remove the healthy semolina and pea patties from the pan. Serve hot with green chutney or ketchup. Cut one open to reveal the delicious green pea filling.
