Instructions
Soak the dried green peas for 8-10 hours and then cook them per instructions in the recipe card. Once they are cooked add the spices and ingredients to the soup. Let the soup come to a boil. Tip: Keep the soup a bit watery because once it is served on top of the potato patties, the soup thickens up. Make the patties by combing the ingredients and pan-frying them to a crispy outer layer. Pour the spiced pea soup on the patties and then add the toppings.
Equipment Needed
Substitutions
Green Peas (vatana)- Can use dried white peas, green peas, or dried garbanzo beans. Just note that the cooking time may vary. Please refrain from using fresh, frozen, or canned varieties for this recipe. Breadcrumbs - This ingredient is optional but can yield crispy patties.
