Hopefully someone can help you

If the op is that desperate, dare I suggest they make their own? Looks pretty easy.

Speaking of which..

There's an Indian pea 'fritter'.. So mashed pea, spiced, wrapped in a bhaji kind of coating, fried and then rapidly consumed by hungry me.

I keep meaning to find the recipie, but can't remember what they're called..

"Ingredients

0.5 tsp salt
1 tbsp unsalted butter"

Where's the sense in that? Why not just use salted butter and no added salt?

So you can adjust they salt content if you wish - or have no salt at all.

There was a chip shop in Radcliffe near Bury that used to sell fritters with peas and onion in the middle.......it was at Top o' th' Cross

Mind, that's 50 years ago

From a bit of googling, might be. They didn't have the potato and were more balls rather than the traditional samosa shape. Very moorish though

Googling Indian Pea Fritter turns up Rotlo but googling that on it's own it seems to be a bread.

On the other hand that turns up a link for Jowar Vada / Desai Vada which looks more like the thing you describe.

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

Was it a pakora perhaps?

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.😕

Don't think they were 'authentic' btw.

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..

Found it!

Not a batter after all-

http://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/mat...matar-kachori/

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.

Then again, my vada versions kinda worked
