Further increase the flame to high & add the potato wedges & fry them until light golden brown, transfer them into the same bowl as the vadis & set them aside until further use.
To cook the green pea paste, remove a few tablespoons of oil from the kadhai & add the green pea paste, stir well & cook over medium to low until the paste turns crumbly & darkens.
