• In order to make the savoury Matar Kulcha start off with washing the white peas and soaking them in water for 4-5 hours.
• After they are well soaked, discard the water using a mesh strainer.
• Add these peas in a pressure cooker and add salt and water to it. Pressure cook for 3 whistles and then allow the cooker to cool naturally.
• After the cooker is cooled down, take the peas out in a bowl.
• Instructions For Making the Masala Paste
• In the grinder add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns, ½ inch cinnamon stick, 1 black cardamom, 2 green chillies and ¼ cup of mint leaves. Grind them all together to make a coarse paste.

Instructions For Making the Matar

• Heat a pan and add 2 tablespoons of oil in it. Now, add 1 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste and ¼ teaspoon of turmeric powder in the pan. Stir them and add 1 teaspoon of coarsely ground coriander, 1 teaspoon of red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon of chaat masala and 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds.
• Cook the spices for a minute and then add boiled white peas in the pan.
• Stir all the ingredients well.
• Now, add the ground masala (which we ground previously in a paste) with the white peas and mix well.
• After mixing the ingredients well add 1/4 cup of tamarind water and salt to taste in the pan. Mix all the ingredients in the pan well and after some time add about a cup of water in it. Allow the ingredients to cook for 7-8 minutes.
