NOTE: Stuffed puris are a big hit with all of us and the recipe below is typical Kolkatta dish.Usually eaten with channa dal or Alu sabji,I have served it with Hingwali Alu Dum(recipe already given)
U need:
Fresh green peas: 3/4 cup
Garlic pod: 2 small
Ginger piece: 1"
Green chillies: 3 or 4
Plain flour: 1&1/2 cup
Warm water as needed
Salt to taste
Sugar:1/2 tsp
Oil for frying the puris
Kala jeera"1/4tsp
Dhaniya jeera powder: 3/4th tsp
METHOD:
1. In a bowl put in the flour,2 tabslsp oil,salt and knead to a firm dough with warm water.Cover and set aside.
2. Grind together to a smooth paste green peas,garlic pod,ginger,green chillies and little salt. Heat 1 tabslp oil.When hot season with the kala jeera,dhaniya-jeera powder,1/2 tsp sugar and saute.Add the ground peas paste and cook till the paste becomes a little dry. Cool the filling.
3. Heat enough oil to fry the puris.Take a small lemon size roll,form a cup,put some of the peas filling and cover well from all sides.Gently roll to a small size puri using a little oil or dusting the board with a little flour. Ensue the filling doesn't spill out .Roll about 5 to 6 puris and then deep fry them 2 or 3 at a time till golden brown. Drain excess oil with a kitchen towel.
4. Serve hot with hingwali alu dum.
If you don't like garlic you can avoid them.
