Prepare Outer Cover

  • In a mixing bowl, add maida, wheat flour, salt and ghee and mix them up well.
  • Add water little by little and knead it to a smooth dough.
  • Cover and let the dough sits till we prepare the filling.

Prepare Filling

  • Boil the green peas till they are soft. I used frozen green peas so I boiled them up for 6 minutes in microwave.
  • Take the boiled green peas in a mixer jar. Add green chili and ginger and grind it to a coarse paste. Just pulse it to make it a coarse paste.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin and fennel seeds and allow it to sputter.
  • Then add green peas paste and and saute them for 2 minutes. 
  • Add red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, chaat masala and amachor powder and salt and mix well.
  • Keep in flame for 2 minutes and then switch off the flame. The green peas filling Ready!

Shaping Kachori

  • Take the dough, knead well. Make small balls out of the dough. 
  • Knead each ball to a thin and small circle and then keep a tablespoon of peas filling in the middle.
  • Bring all the edges together and close it to keep the filling inside. Repeat the step to prepare other kachoris.

Deep Frying

  • Heat oil in pan. When the oil is hot, gently drop 3-4 kachori and fry them in hot oil till they are crispy and golden brown in both the sides. Place the kachoris in paper towel to drain excess oil.

Serving Time
