Ta. Not sure they're what I had, but then the joy of Indian cuisine is there's so much of it, and lots of local/regional variations. I think I need to get some gram & chickpea flour and experiment with making Indian batters

My late Dad used to buy them for us ( Swansea) and they were like mushy/marrowfat fat peas in batter. Really not healthy - but nice! Haven't had them in years = low fat diet.😕

Something like that I guess. I got some gram flour, so going to experiment tomorrow with the fermented batter and spices. Possibly even an Anglo-Indian beer batter variation..
matar kachori recipe – a flaky, crisp deep fried pastry filled with spiced peas filling. in hindi matar means peas and kachori is the fried & flaky pastry. these are like spiced empanadas.
