Green Pea Fritter is one of our local Malaysian favorite snack dessert that you can buy at roadside stalls or night market.
For RM2, you can buy 3 balls of Green Pea Fritters which are sufficient to satisfy your hunger pangs when you in a hurry.
It is locally famously known as Kuih Kacang Hijau or Kuih Rengas.
These Green Pea Fritters are made from cooked green peas.
There are 2 ways how you can boil the green peas:
Some people would add in turmeric powder into the batter in order to turn the batter into yellowish color and to avoid the gas inducement in your digestive system, where you might give out farts.
Alternatively, you can leave it as the original white flour color.
Mashing the green peas
Whether you boil the green pea sweet soup dessert or boil the green peas in a pot with grated coconut, you will need to do 2 tasks;
– remove the husks from the peas, usually floats on the top surface of the soup. You could use a ladle with holes to scoop up the husks.
– drain the cooked soft green peas from the soup
– use the back of a stainless steel fork to mash the green peas into paste
Husks should be remove because your Green Pea Fritters would turn hard and hard to digest.
Green peas had to be mashed in order to make the pea fritters easily soft, chew easily and digested.
If you wish to have a sweet, filling and high in protein snack, you should try these Green Pea Fritters for afternoon teatime snack of morning breakfast.
Great with a cup of hot beverage.
Honestly, they are not oily at all even though deep fried.

It is best food for school going children because it a sweet and delicious dish. It is tasty in eaten as I have from my net friends but I have not eaten it still.
As I think that his is a wonderful meal you can whip up in around 10 minutes. What I love about these delicious green pea fritters is that you can also take any leftovers to work the next day and enjoy them cold or warm with a side salad of leafy greens, a squeeze of lemon and cold pressed olive oil.
I think these may be its benefits health wise as Green peas are loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients. They are a great source of Vitamin A, K + folate, fibre and packed with protein as well as iron for energy metabolism.
Ricotta is a good source of protein, which encourages muscle growth and repair. Protein also stimulates the production of growth hormone that is responsible for bone and muscle strength that decreases as we age. Studies show that overweight people have lower-than-normal levels of growth hormone in their body, which may make it harder for them to lose weight as growth hormone can promote fat burning in the body.
HGH can be increased naturally by a quality protein- and vegetable-rich diet, getting quality sleep and enjoying regular exercise.
Green peas are highly rich in protein content. They should be taken in small quantities as it will be quite difficult to digest. A healthy person can digest easily 10 gms of Green peas.
If it is included in your regular diet in small quantities one need not consult any doctor for deficiency problems relating to proteins.
The recipe you have described here is similar to THE MASALA STUFFED INTO SAMOSA. The main difference arises while making mashing the Green peas. Here we grind it and make it a rough paste. We add Chilli powder in place of sugar. Rice flour is added in a small quantity.
Instead of preparing fritters with the stuff we dough it adding some Potatoes (boiled and mashed), some boiled and nicely cut vegetables like carrot, beans, cauliflower, etc. We keep this mix aside.
We prepare the dough of Pancake. Make small balls of it. Each ball will be pressed against the floor into a square shape. We place the Green peas stuff at the center of the square-shaped dough.It will be folded into a triangle shape. This is a technique. We fry it in a hot sunflower oil taken in a Pan having a deep base. When it turns into brown in color it will be taken away into a separate container. They will be quite crispy and crunchy also. We can take them as morning / evening snack along with a cup of hot tea.
