In a bowl, add the ingredients required for filling and mix it well. Keep it aside. Make small balls and keep it aside.

Take a pan. Heat it and add oil. Then, add the finely chopped green chillies and saute. Add ginger-garlic paste and saute again. When the raw smell disappears, reduce the flame to low and add the coriander powder. Do not let it burn. Add the chopped methi leaves and stir fry it. Next, add the coarsely ground peas alongwith the garam masala powder and fry well. Add the powdered gram flour and mix it well.

When the mixture cools down, make balls and make small circular shaped discs and place on a plate. Place the khoa balls in the middle of each disc and cover it with another circular disc and shape it into a ball and press slightly in the middle to form a patty.

In a bowl, add the all purpose flour, pepper and salt. Add water to make a batter of cream like consistency that coats a back of a s spoon. It should neither be too thick or too thin. Dip each patty in the batter and then drop it in the plate of breadcrumbs to coat it well. Repeat the same for all patties.

Brush the patties with oil and place them in the air fryer tray in a single layer. You may fry it in an air fryer at 200 degree C for 10-15 minutes. Flip them after 8 minutes to let the other side cook until it is golden and crisp.

You may also shallow fry it in a tawa/pan with little oil on medium flame, if you do not have an air fryer.
