Green peas-corn-chickpea pakode
Winter is the time when we get fresh green peas, sweet corn, green chickpea, tender onion and tender garlic. So one evening I thought of making pakode with these. To my surprise it tasted Yummy. So why don’t you try this and have it along with a cup of coffee.

Ingredients:

• 2-cups sweet corn (sheared from cob)
• 1-cup green peas
• 1-cup green chickpeas
• 3 tender onion
• 2 tender garlic
• 4 green chilies
• ½ inch ginger
• 1-teaspoon black pepper
• 2 sprig curry leaves
• Few green coriander leaves

Oil to fry
Salt to taste.

Now grind all the above ingredients into thick paste by adding little water. Transfer this dough into a bowl. Add salt to taste. Now add channa flour (besan) little by little to the dough and whisk it thoroughly till the water in it is completely absorbed.

Method:
Heat the oil in a kadai. Keep the flame in medium. Make small balls of this dough and deep fry them till they turn into light brown in color. Serve them hot with tomato sauce.
