3. In a small bowl, combine the ginger, cumin powder, coriander powder and 1 tbsp water to form a paste. Set aside.
4. Heat 10 g oil in a pan. Temper it with kaalo jeere and hing. Add the ginger, cumin, and coriander paste, and fry for 2 minutes.
5. Now add the ground peas. Sauté on medium heat for about 6 minutes until the mixture dries out and gathers around the spatula in a lump. Set the filling aside to cool.
6. Divide the dough in 25 g portions and the filling in 10 g portions.
7. Stuff the dough with the filling as shown in the video.
