As soon as the cumin seeds crackle, add a pinch of asafoetida, two small chopped chillies, one finely chopped onion, and keep the flame on medium. Then, add one spoonful of garlic and ginger paste to it.
As soon as the onion is fried, add finely chopped tomatoes to it. After this, add salt according to taste. When the tomato melts, add all the spices to it, then mix it well. When the masala is cooked well, add boiled peas and mix it. Let it cook for a full five minutes. When the water dries up, serve the pea chaat and eat it by squeezing chopped onion and lemon on top.
