Ingredients:
- 2 cups wheat flour
- 1 cup green peas
- 5 to 6 green chillies
- 1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves
- 1 teaspoon celery
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Salt, to taste
- Water, as needed
- Oil, for frying
Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Instructions:
- Start by grinding the green peas and green chillies together in a mixer grinder to form a smooth paste. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add wheat flour, turmeric powder, salt, coriander leaves, celery, cumin seeds, and ajwain (carom seeds). Mix thoroughly.
- Add the prepared green peas and chilli paste into the flour mixture. Gradually add water little by little and knead into a soft, smooth dough.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- After resting, divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a small, round puri, using dry flour to prevent sticking.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the puris one by one until they turn golden brown and crisp.
- Remove the puris from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the Matar Ajwain Ki Puri hot, ideally with Jaipuri Aloo Pyaz Ki Sabzi and Boondi Raita for a fulfilling Sunday breakfast. You can also enjoy them with mango pickle for added flavor.
Enjoy this warm, crunchy delight with your loved ones!
