In a pan heat the 2 tbsp oil and add the cumin seeds. When they start to crackle add the asafoetida and ginger. Sauté for about a minute and add the roughly chopped green peas. Fry them till they are crisp.
In a large bowl add the grated potatoes, green peas mixture, green chillies, chaat masala, cumin powder, salt, coriander leaves and cornflour.
Mix everything well till it comes together.
Take about 2 tbsp of the mixture and give it a shape of a cutlet. Keep aside.
