This recipe was given to meby an Indian lady who held a stall at the then Moonee Ponds Market. It is an excellent snack food and freezes well. Reheat in the oven or in a non stick pan.
450g. yellow split peas.( soaked for 6 hours)
Drain and put into TMX bowl with
1 large onion
green part of a large bunch of coriander - you could use mint and parsley if you don't like coriander
1 green chilli OR 1 small dried red chilli
salt and pepper to taste, and a dash of oil.
Zap on speed 7, 1 min. or until a firm paste is formed.
Scrape down sides after 30 secs.
Form into small balls and flatten slightly, this will make about 30 patties.
Shallow fry in rice bran oil until crisp.
drain on hand towel.
We usually have them as a light meal with cucumber, garlic and yog. sauce (raita) with salad and Indian bread.
Suitable to freeze either cooked or uncooked.
You can reheat them in the oven, in a frying pan, (no oil), or in toaster bags.
Members hints
Twitterpated - Serve with sweet chilli sauce
Bootobethin - I added 1 teaspoon ground Cumin. They were fantastic as a meal or if made smaller finger food. They are great with chutney.
Wonder - I think I may have put a little too much coriander in them but they tasted nice with beetroot relish and some babaganoush that I had left over.
MJ - I'd fry mine in a mixture of ghee and coconut oil, rather than rice bran oil.
-
Do you usually go around asking stall holders for their recipes Chookie 8) 8) 8) Great that the lady would share with you.
-
JD , I got to know this lady pretty well as each Friday after work I would buy 2 patties from her to eat while shopping. I think that like all good cooks she was happy to talk about her food and to share her recipes. ( much like on the forum). I was also friendly with an Italian greengrocer who also gave me some Italian cooking lessons. How lucky can you get. ;D ;D ;D
-
Not much luckier than that Chookie. Good for you. :-* :-*
-
I should imagine these would have a nice flavour Chookie. Thanks for sharing.
-
Thanks Chookie - do they hold together well ?
-
Yes thermomixer, they do hold together well, much like falafel .
-
These are divine, have the last batch in the frying pan, sadly some have gone missing, lost in action, i made 30 balls and there are only 20 left, naughty little gremlins must have eaten them.
These are just too irresistible not to eat while cooking, they would be great with a raita or something similar.
All I can say is absolute yum.
Thanks Chookie
Hally ;D
-
Hally, so glad you like them. Funny how some go missing!!!! I always freeze some, great heated up.

Hally ;D
You do make me laugh Hally with your postings.You sound exactly like my daughter the way you view life. :D :D :D
-
Nice to see someone finally tried this recipe. Hally you are good at digging up untried recipes :-*
-
Chookie, i dont know how you end up freezing some, mine all gone in one hit.
Absolutely lovely, i used peanut oil to shallow fry them. These will be a regular for bring a plate of nibbles and also for us to eat here. So easy to make and helthy too.
CC, well i am sure you have a very happy house, we are always laughing ;D
JD, you must make these, they are so yum
H :)
-
They certainly sound interesting Hally, I will put them on my long 'to do' list.
-
I think they shoud be near the top, do them for a snack or lunch with some salad.

-
Chookie & Hally How did I miss these. Can't wait to make them. We have had these at our friends home in India but never did get the recipe. Thanks so much Chookie.
-
Do you think these would be okay for nibbles when entertaining with perhaps sweet chilli sauce for dipping?
-
Twitterpated, yes , yes , yes. we usually have them as a light meal with cucumber, garlic and yog. Sauce with salad and Indian bread.
-
A cucumber raita would be perfect, they are o delicious
H
-
yummo chookie! made these today and they are superb with the sweet chilli sauce. thank you, and good suggestion about freezing (but I think they will be gobbled up today)
-
CP63, so glad you like them.
-
OK, I got talked into trying this and have to agree with the others, they are lovely. I made a cucumber & mint raita to go with them and have frozen about 20 of them in little packs for another day. Thanks Chookie, another winner :-*
-
yep thats what mine looked like also :D did you try them with sweet chilli sauce also - I'd like to know which is nicer?
-
No CP but I should have. I figured the chilli sauce I made will last whereas I have to use up the raita on something ;) I imagine they are both great though.
-
Judy, you can reheat them in the oven, in a frying pan,(no oil), or in those toaster bags. Glad you like them.
-
Mine looked like them tooooooo
Did you use the indian recipe cook book for the raita?
Hally
-
I made these on Monday and they came together perfectly. Half way through making them though I smelt the bowl and realised that coriander is the flavour that we don't like in certain Indian dishes. I had never known before exactly what it was. I added some cumin to try and balance it out but I had put too much coriander in. Such a shame as they were so easy and held together well. Great for people who like coriander (unlike silly me). :P ;D
-
Thanks Chookie, did think I would use the toaster bags.
Yes Hally, raita from the Indian book.
Chelsea, I absolutely love coriander in thai curries etc but in these I didn't think the taste was that dominant (I used a lot) - you must really hate the stuff :D :D
-
Yes I did put a rather big bunch in. Not for me sadly. :)
-
At least CTG you have found out what you don't like. I just twisted and ripped the whole lot off the bunch of coriander I bought. I love coriander, and wish I had some success in growing it
-
I love corriandervtoo, i put it in salads sometimes :D, nice
Hally
-
wish I had some success in growing it
Me too CP. It's one of the only herbs that I have tried to grow that I haven't been successful with.
-
Coriander is a bit hit and miss - it either grows beautifully or bolts to seed before you can even pick a bunch. Last year mine was hopeless, the previous year was great. This year it is looking good again.
-
Chelsea, you could use mint and parsley. Not quite the same for those of us who love Coriander. It grows very well in our cold climate and I love it when it goes to seed as it then pops up everywhere.
-
Made this using my falafel mold, it's bite size, made more than 60. Yum and perfect finger food to feed the crowd. Lovely to go with relish.
-
Yes I did put a rather big bunch in. Not for me sadly. :)
Aaahh Chelsie, Me too.
Coriander seems to be a real love or hate herb
I can't eat coriander. Even the tiniest bit and I know it is there.
Luckily all of my family are on the same wavelength on this one.
Just substitute with flat leaf parsley,
I heard recently that it is the same taste as eating stink bugs. :-X

I grew mexican coriander last year and it did really well. Didn't go to seed for ages. It's not quite the same as lovely hothouse grown coriander, but pretty similar to homegrown normal coriander (very strong flavour). I'll definitely be growing it again this winter.
-
Cooked these tonight for dinner - DH & I loved them, the kids not so much. Jeez, they sure are filling though!
-
Greenie, glad you liked them.
-
I made these twice over the weekend!
I added 1 teaspoon ground Cumin.
They were fantastic as a meal or if made smaller finger food.
They are great with chutney.
Thank you for the recipe!
-
Boo., glad you liked them. the Cumin sounds good.
-
Thanks ACW . . and Btbt for the cumin recommendation! Will make these today, Don't have enough coriander so will probably use parsley this time.
ACW -for the freezer . . do you "flash freeze" them on a tray and then pop them into a bag?
-
I must have done something wrong, thought I'd followed it to a 'T' but instead of frying I baked..... was like eating cardboard, tasty but cardboardish...

Yes , either cooked or uncooked.
curley66, definitely something wrong here. I usually shallow fry mine.
-
ACW, could i use green peas in this recipe? We aren't really bean/pea lovers in this house and I soaked a heap of peas to make pea and ham soup and they are still in my freezer. I should probably look up the the split peas and see what they are like so I can compare.
-
Wonder, interesting idea. I would give it a go.
-
Dear Chookie,
Mixture smells wonderful. Any advice if the balls are not firm? Add breadcrumbs??? Admittedly I soaked the whole packet of yellow split peas, which was 500g. Can't think of anything else I've done to make the mix too soft.
-
Cecilia, do you have any chickpea flour? If not any other dried peas that you could grind up in the TMX and add to this mixture. It does need to be a bit on the damp side to stick together,
Let me know how you go .
-
Thanks, Chookie - will do. In the meantime, I have refrigerated the mixture, in the hope that in the morning it will be easier to manage. Wish me luck!
-
Cecilia, good luck.
-
I LOVE these! Made them last night and they went down really well with my family. And GF/CF too - yay!
I expected to roll them in my hands but found it easier to spoon dollops into frypan (I used rice bran oil.)
Beautiful texture, and so easy with Timmy.
I'm thinking this recipe is a keeper! Thanks Chookie!
-
JenJan, so glad you like them. We do too. ;D
-
Hi Chookie,
Thanks for this recipe two out of three kids love them and so does DH and I :)
I served mine with cucumber and mint Raita - delicious!
-
Just soaking the yellow split peas now fr tomorrow.
;D
Made into soup.... Instead.
Edited ages later to say still haven't made these but on my list to do soon and bumping for newbies... Enjoy.
-
Bumping
-
Drooling over the vision of these patties. Thanks for bumping DJ
-
Good one for this hot weather, minimum cooking. Enjoy
-
I'm going to make these for lunch. I soaked the peas a few days ago, drained and put in the fridge and never got back to them. Figure they will be quick to whip up for lunch, hoping they taste good with beetroot relish which I need to use up.
-
Wonder, would go well with Beetroot relish.
-
Certainly would wonder. We love these :)
-
Don't no what I did wrong, they were very dry and nobody liked them except me. I followed the recipe to a T.
-
I think I may have put a little too much coriander in them but they tasted nice with the beetroot relish and some babaganoush that I had left over. jeninwa I think I would be the only one here who will eat them, DH might but I don't think he would be overly crazy for them.
-
Jen, I think they were not wet enough when you formed them.
-
Wonder , I am sorry you don't think the family will like these. We love them. Lots of people don't like coriander.
Jen, I made these again today to see if there was a problem with the recipe. It seems fine, but I did have to add a bit of water as I had left the soaked drained peas on the bench all day and they had dried out in the heat. The mix needs to be fairly wet to form into patties. I will. Add a photo to the original recipe. This may help.

Couldn't add with recipe, so placed it here.
-
Yum! Definitely will be making these soon. I adore Indian food and always looking for a good chickpea patty. I'd fry mine in a mixture of ghee and coconut oil, rather than rice bran oil.
-
MJ, will try the coconut oil and Ghee . Thanks for the tip.
-
Just realised these aren't chick peas but split peas. Just as good!! Yes, and do try the blend of ghee and coconut oil, it's excellent, especially if you can get hold of clay deodorised coconut oil.
-
Tonight's the night for these as peas are soaking, I even bought some ghee as MJ suggested.
Going to add garlic, a spot of cumin, and turmeric. Got raita and chutney and mini naans DH is quite excited at the prospect.
Report later.
-
DJ, sounds delicious.
-
They were good, thank you, DH voted it a hit and we have 3 more meals in the freezer. ;D
I wasn't sure how much coriander to put in, I had a big bunch, and put a big handful in. It went quite green. I used the bigger half of a red chilly. I'd be more confident next time in making the patties. I spooned them all out on to grease proof, then used a frying spatula to put them in the pans. A bit tricky but worth it.
Tiny ones teaspoon sized would make a great starter, or nibbles with drinks. Good to take to a shared meal, and cheap to make.
-
DJ, sounds good. Glad you liked them.
-
I made these yesterday as an entree for our Indian dinner party. I added a teaspoon of cumin as suggested and about 3/4 coriander and 1/4 mint. I fried them before our guests arrived and reheated them in the oven. I think I preferred the texture of the freshly cooked patties, but cooking earlier in the day and reheating them was easier for me.
They were delicious and everyone enjoyed them, thanks for the recipe Chookie.

-
Katie, thanks for the report. Like you , I think they are best straight from the pan. Reheating is also better in pan, but sometimes you have to go with what is more convenient.
-
Looking forward to trying these Chookie.
An icecream scoop will make quick work scooping these for the pan ;)
-
Maddy, I use a variety of ice cream scoops when cooking. Love them.
