Tips for success with pea steak
Before you start the recipe, there are 3 things to think about. Read the tips below to succeed with pea steak.
squeeze out as much liquid as possible
In order for the ingredients to stay together, it is important to squeeze as much liquid as possible from the green peas and grated zucchini.
If you do not follow this step, there is a risk that the steaks will not stick together and fall apart during frying.
Let the dough stand and rise for 15 minutes
Another tip for fixing the pea patties is to let the dough rise for 15 minutes before shaping the patties. Breadcrumbs absorb liquid and swell, so the steaks stick together better.
Don’t turn the peas too quickly
When frying matar pakodas, do not flip them too quickly. They have to have a decent cooking surface before you can wait on them, otherwise they just fall apart.
