Rub together the mixture for 1-2 minutes till the ghee is completely incorporated.
You can use a food processor if you have one.
Gradually add water just enough to form a stiff but pliable dough (about 4-5 tablespoons water should be sufficient)Keep the dough covered for about 30 minutes.
For the Gujiya/Karanji filling:In a mixer grinder, add the coconut, green chillies, coriander, mint leaves and cumin seeds and grind to a smooth paste.
In a mixing bowl add the peas, ground coconut mixture, ajwain, salt and lemon juice.
Mix until all ingredients are combinedTo make the Matar Karanji:Heat oil for deep frying in a wok.Pinch off small, lime sized balls of the dough and roll out into a thin circle about 3-4 inch in diameter.
Use some oil or ghee to grease the working surface (do not use flour)Place about 2-3 teaspoons of the peas filling on one side of the circle leaving some space on the edge.Fold over the other half of the circle to make a half moon shape.
Keep them covered and the fry them in batches)Spicy Matar karanji tastes great on its own but you can serve them with Raw Mango & Coconut Chutney or any chutney of choice at your Diwali or Holi parties.
