Rekha's Notes
- Peas or matar should retain some texture after grinding, we do not want a pasty mixture.
- You can adjust the quantity of bread crumbs to adjust the consistency of mixture. It should resemble soft dough and should not be watery.
- Instead of mushrooms you can add grated carrots too.
- While frying turn them gently and cook on medium to slow heat.
