Close the lid and soak overnight or 8-12 hours so that they become soft.

Drain water, if needed add little fresh water and clean peas.

Put drained peas over a cloth and let them dry under a fan.

Meanwhile heat oil in a pan at a high temperature, once we get the required temperature lower the flame.

Place steel net ladder in oil and put green peas with a spoon in small quantity so that oil does not overflow from pan.

Deep fry peas on low to medium flame till they turn crisp and give a crackling sound when a ladder is shaken.

Drain oil and transfer Chatpata Matar Namkeen to a bowl and sprinkle spice powder while they are hot.
