So here it is.
This is my version, with additions and tweaks from a book.

1 cup peas
1/2 red onion, diced
3cm piece of ginger, grated
1 tspn tumeric powder
1 tspn cumin powder

1 tspn garam masala
3 tbspns besan (chickpea) flour
2 tbspn lemon juice

Steam the potatoes and pumpkin, mash.
Add peas.

Add oil to small pan and fry the onion until tender, add ginger and spices, fry for 1 minute.
Add to potato & peas with besan flour, herbs, lemon juice and salt to taste.

Divide into balls and flatten into patties.

Shallow fry in batches until crisp and golden brown.
