The sun almost set. So had to use my phone flashlight to take the photo
Ingredients(4 servings,10 balls):



  1. Yellow pea, 250 gm
  2. Egg, 1
  3. Cornflour powder, 2 tbsp
  4. Soy sauce, 1 tbsp
  5. Vinegar, 1/2 tbsp
  6. Potato, 1
  7. Chopped scallion, 6 tbsp
  8. Onion, 2
  9. Garlic, 5 cloves
  10. Capsicum, 1 small
  11. Salt to taste
  12. Soybean oil/Olive oil/Any refined oil
Methods:
Boil yellow peas in pressure cooker. You need to put 3-4 whistles to  get the softness. Press one pea between your thumb and index figure to check if they are cooked perfectly.

Blend peas. Boil potato and mash. In a pan heat 4 tbsp oil. Add 1 chopped onion and saute till they are soft. Add peas and mashed potato. Add salt to taste and 1 tsp sugar. After a minute add 2 tbsp chopped scallion and cook till the mixture is dry.



Divide the mixture into medium balls. In a bowl mix cornflour powder, egg, 2 tbsp water and 1 tsp salt to make a batter. Dip the balls in that batter and fry in oil until they get a  golden brown outer  crust


Leave 4 tbsp oil in pain and remove the remaining. Chop another onion and grate garlic. Add into oil. Add sliced capsicum and a pinch of sault and saute for a minute. Add the remaining batter,salt to taste, 1 tsp sugar and chopped scallion. Cook for a minute. Mix soy sauce and vinegar in 1 small cup of water and add. When the gravy becomes thick add all  the pea balls. Remove from flame.
That was all. Garnishing options sliced or chopped scallion.
