Knead the dough for at least 6 to 7 minutes, cover with a wet cloth and keep aside atleast 1 hour.

When the seeds crackle, add the green chillies and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
Add the green peas, lemon juice and salt and cook on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle the plain flour and cook again on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture becomes dry. Keep aside.

How to proceed

Divide the dough into 18 equal portions.
Roll a portion of the dough into 75 mm. (3”) diameter circle with the help of a little plain flour for rolling.
Place 1 tsp of the prepared stuffing in the centre of the circle.
Bring together all the sides in the centre and seal tightly.
Roll again into 100 mm. (4”) diameter circle using a little plain flour for rolling.
Repeat steps 2 to 5 to make 17 more puris.
