Here is a stuffed version using a green peas stuffing. Additionally, you can use your creativity to make different stuffing mixtures such as mixed vegetables stuffing, dry fruits mixture, masala paneer etc. Cornflour acts as a binding agent in the patties mixture and helps hold the shape and the stuffing.
