Start by soaking the peas in generous amount of water . You can choose to soak the beans overnight in cold water or soak in hot water for 15 minutes (covered).

Combine the soaked peas in a blender with 1/2 cup of water. Blend to a very smooth paste.

Pour blended peas into a large bowl; add in all left over ingredients (except oil). Combine thoroughly using a whisk or spatula.

Place a large non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Add in the oil to coat bottom of the pan. If using a smaller pan, divide oil as required.

Scoop about 1/3 cup of mix into the oil leaving about 1.5 inch space between each scoop.

Continue to cook until crisp on the bottom (~2 minutes). Flip the fritters and press down to flatten. Cook until crisp on the other side.

Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 4 more minutes flipping ones at the halfway mark.
