I really have to focus on writing a bit about this recipe, because, just looking at the picture is making me crave so much for this! Mouth-watering or should I say mouth-waterfall! Not exaggerating!
Thus, the name ''The Street Food King'' is so justified for this dish. No other dish could give you such a wonderful and perfect mix of tastes!
No one, and absolutely no one can make it as tasty as my aunt does. I learnt this recipe from her, and she is one of the best cooks of the family! So basically this is ''death-by-drooling'' recipe. Consider yourself warned!
A superbly delicious curry made from soaked white peas, in which potato patties should be crumbled and put. Garnished with onions, sev and accompanied with mint and date chutneys.
Trust me, its a massive joy ride for your taste buds!
Of course, dont forget to have a nice chilled fizzy drink with it.
Hope you gorge on it as much as we do.

MY NOTES
While soaking the peas, add 1/2 a tsp of baking soda, helps cook the peas faster.
Add the red chilli powder in the oil right after the ginger-garlic pastes are cooked. This will give the curry a beautiful colour.
