Wash the peas very well with water.

Turn off the heat and strain the peas through a sieve to remove excess water.

Spread them on a kitchen linen. Dry them for 3-4 hours in direct sunlight or leave for overnight. There should be no moisture on them otherwise it will spoil.
Grind mustard seeds and fennel seeds in a blender to make a coarse powder.
Take all peas in a bowl. Add mustard seeds, saunf powder, salt, turmeric powder and red chilli powder and vinegar.
