How to make Hari Matar Ke Pakode Recipe (Green Pea Fritters)
To begin making the Hari Matar Ke Pakode Recipe (Green Pea Fritters), we will coarsely blend/ chop the 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 kuzhi paniyaram pan for pan frying the matar ke pakore. Add a teaspoon of oil in each of the cavities. Spoon the matar pakora batter into each of the cavities and fry them until brown and crisp.
You can add a little more oil on the pakora if you like a crisp pakora. Once one batch of the matar ke pakore are done, remove from the pan and drain in the paper towel.
Proceed the same way with the remaining pakora batter.
Serve the Hari Matar Ke Pakode as a evening tea time snack when you have tea parties at home or even as an appetizer when you have guests over for dinner.
