Instructions: To begin making the Hari Matar Ke Pakode Recipe – Green Pea Fritters, we will coarsely blend few of the pakora ingredients in a chopper or a mixer-grinder.Place the coriander leaves, peas, green chilies, garlic and cumin seeds in the blender and pulse to get a coarse mixture.Transfer the ingredients to a mixing bowl, add the salt, onions and gram flour and mix well to combine. Add a little water to make a thick batter – only if required – like a few tablespoons. Check the salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste.Heat a kadai with enough oil to deep fry the Hari Matar Pakoras.Once the oil is hot spoon the matar pakora batter into the kadai and fry them till golden brown and cris on all sides. Do not over crowd the kadai. Once one batch of the Matar ke Pakode are done, remove from the pan and drain on an oil absorbent paper.Proceed the same way with the remaining pakora batter.Serve the Hari Matar Ke Pakode as a evening tea time snack along with Ginger Cardamom Chai or serve as an appetizer along with Pudina Dahi Chutney Recipe- Mint Yoghurt Dip at your next party.
