Matar ki kachori/Koraishutir Kachori

Ingredients:

• 2-3 cups green peas

• 1 onion
• 4 garlic pods
• ½ inch ginger

Seasonings

• 2 tsp of coriander powder
• 1 tsp of cumin powder
• 2-3 green chilies
• ½ tsp of red pepper powder
• 1 tsp of salt
• Pinch of sugar
• Pinch of hing/asfoetida
• 3-4 cups of whole wheat flour/atta

Method:

• Knead the flour with some water+1 tsp of cooking oil and pinch of salt.
• Now boil the peas till it becomes tender.
• Now pulse through in mixer/grinder- green peas, onion, garlic and ginger and green chilies.
• Now add oil in a frying pan, add the green peas paste and add in hing/asfoetida.
• Adjust seasonings with salt+sugar+red pepper powder+black pepper powder+cumin coriander powder.
• Keep on frying till the peas mixture starts to collect well. When the mixture has been properly fried and has become dry transfer to cool in a separate bowl.
• Make even round size balls from the kneaded atta dough.
• Roll in to small discs, place about 2 tsp of fried mixture, and secure from all ends and then roll into small rounds with your palms by pressing gently.
• Dust the working surface with flour, and start rolling the rounds into small discs, pressing gently.
• Meanwhile you keep on making kachori. Heat up a saucepan with enough cooking oil. Drop in some cumin seeds to check if the oil is properly heated.
• Now fry the kachoris one by one at medium flame. Raise the flame once in a while if the oil tends to go cool and kachoris are not puffing up well. Take out over a tissue paper to absorb the excess oil.
