Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, as it starts crackling, add garlic & sauté till golden brown.
Add the fresh green peas & toss them on medium flame.
Season with salt & cook the peas till they are tender. (Frozen ones will just need to be tossed enough till the water evaporates as they don’t take time to cook)
Once done switch off the flame & allow the mixture to cool
Now to make the filling, mix all the given ingredients in a bowl.
Once the peas mixture has cooled down, add them to a blender & grind coarsely. Transfer the mixture to another bowl.
Now take a small portion of the peas mixture, flatten slightly and make an indent in the center.
Stuff it with peanut mixture, close with more pea mixture, flatten & snoothen slightly like a cutlet.
Heat oil in a flat griddle(tava or a frying pan) & shallow fry the cutlets till golden brown color on both sides. Remove on an absorbent paper.
Mix mayonnaise & ketchup & fill a squeezy bottle. (always make a little extra to be used later)
You can serve the bites with this sauce by the side or get creative & decorate the cutlets like shown in the video.
