For Stuffing
1. Green Peas - 100gms
2. Green Chillies - 1pcs
3. Ginger - 5gms

3. Oil for frying
4. Soda water for kneading the dough

Method:
For Stuffing
Wash the green peas and drain the excess water. Cut green chillies into 3-4 pcs along with ginger. grind peas,chillies and ginger together in the mixer(without any water).
In a pan heat oil, add cumin seeds and wait till it starts popping. Add gram flour and roast till it gets light reddish tone. Add peas paste to it and roast till all the water dries up. Add salt. Roasting should be continued until the paste starts leaving the pan surface. Turn off the gas lid and spread the paste in the pan and let it cool.

For Kachauri
Mix Maida,Suji,Cream and knead into a soft dough with Soda water. Since semolina(suji) soaks up water the dough needs to be softer.
Keep the dough for 15-20 minutes.
Now make small balls of the dough. fill in the peas paste(do not overstuff it as it might come out while making the kachauris)
Roll the balls to make small kachauris and fry it in hot oil.
