Kachori is a famous and spicy snack popular in most northern parts of India..this spicy snack item is made of flour and dough flattened balls stuffed with different kinds of filling.It is best served with sweet chutney or green chutney made with tamarind and mint.One such famous version is Green Peas Kachori or Mutter Ki Kachori served with spicy Dum Aloo..Believe me..it is the best combination I have ever had..Sweet and sour crushed green peas stuffed in crispy kachoris served with dum aloo makes the most yummilicous combination in this world..

My special thanks to Sanoli Didi for posing us such a spicy challenge of Green Peas Kachori with Spicy Dum Aloo..We have really enjoyed this combo and this was a total hit in my house..Also this is the first time am preparing kachoris on my own at home..so it was a real exciting trial for me and happy that it was success too..You will really love this kachori with Dum Aloo..though I have had these two yummy items separately I never had it together..it was a marriage made in heaven I must say.. truly delicious and authentic!!

Takes 1 hour ;Makes 10 kachoris
INGREDIENTS FOR GREEN PEAS KACHORI:
For Kachori Crust:

White Flour/All Purpose Four – 2 cups(250 gms)
Ghee – 2 tbs
Salt a pinch
Water as required
Oil for deep frying
For Stuffing of Kachoris:

Green Peas – 100 gms
Green Chillis finley chopped – 2
Coriander powder – 1 tbsp
Gram Masala powder – 1/2 tbsp
Cumin seeds – 1 tbsp
Amchur/Dry Mango powder – 1 tbsp
Crushed ginger – 1/2 tbsp
Coriander leaves – 3 tbsp
Oil – 1 tbsp
Salt to taste

METHOD:
Take flour in a mixing bowl along with some salt.Add the oil and water.For every 1 portion of flour you need 75 percent of water to get a good consistency of dough,Knead well and make a smooth dough.Cover it with a cloth and store in a warm place for 30 minutes.

 While the dough is getting set lets start preparing the stuffing for kachoris.Take the frozen green peas into a plate.Wash them and let them become soft at room temperature.Using a thick spatula crush the green peas into coarse mixture.You could use your hand too to crush the soft green peas.Heat oil in a pan and crackle cumin seeds.Add the crushed ginger and saute until raw smell goes off.

 Add in the coarse mixture of green peas along with the finely chopped green chillies. Mix in all powders and saute them for 10 mins on low flame.Allow it to cool down.The mixture would be dry enough and not be wet at all.Sprinkel lots of coriander and mix well.Spicy stuffing is ready to go into crispy kachoris!!

Divide the dough into equal balls.Take a ball and press it with your hand gently just to expand as shown below.Place some stuffing over the dough and seal all the corners to form a sachet kind of shape.Make you seal all the edges completely.

Now press the upper part gently.Invert it and press with your fingers gently such that the disc gets expanded a little.Roll it gently with a rolling pin to expand little more. That’s it we are done.Make sure you dust little flour while making kachoris else it will absorb more oil while frying.

Now all done and set to get fried in hot oil.Heat enough oil in a kadai on medium heat.If you place the kachori in oil it should not start sizzling immediately.It should start raising up slowly.Make sure the flame is kept on medium else the kachoris will get burnt easily,Fry till golden brown on both sides.
