Peas Kachoris/Green Peas Stuffed Indian Fried Flat Bread
Like Won-tons is to Chinese cuisine, Kachoris are for Indian
snack. Like Falafel are integral part of
Middle Eastern snack Kachoris are for Indian Snack.
Kachoris, Samosa and other few snacks are a must have for
anyone who like Indian cuisine. I have earlier shared the recipe of Kachoris (Onion
Kachoris with you all, and was super hit with my family and many other readers,
for recipe ) . This Wednesday when hubby was working from home it was such a pleasant
climate that thought to indulge in fingerlicious yummy brunch. :D
Hubby wanted Idlis I insisted on having Kachoris and that’s so
some fresh green peas filling. I was trying this dish for the first time, so
had to call mom to take some tips..:P and she guided me with step by step
recipe from filling to dough.
I am sharing an awesome recipe by Mommy the expert and executed
and admired by a novice cook like me..:) But can guarantee the recipe is simple
and sure shot. You try once and I bet you will not be disappointed at all.
Let’s begin
Ingredients used:
For Filling
-
½ cup fresh peas
-
Salt to taste
-
1 tbsp ghee/clarified butter
-
½ tsp fennel seed powder
-
½ tsp cumin seed
-
A pinch of asafetida
-
½ tsp of Garam Masala
-
½ red chilli powder
-
¼ tsp of anardana/Pomegranate seed powder
-
¼ tsp aamchur powder/dry mango powder
For Dough
-
1 and ½ cup of plain flour Maida
-
Salt to taste
-
2 tbsp carried butter/ghee
-
½ tsp carom seeds/ajwain
-
Water to knead the dough
-
Oil for Deep frying the Kachoris
Process for Filling
1.
In a blender/Food processor Jar add fresh green
peas and make a coarse paste.
2.
In a pan heat oil, and add cumin seed and Asafetida
and let splutter for few seconds.
3.
Now add the peas to pan along with salt.
4.
Sauté for 2 minute or so.
5.
Now add all the spices mentioned in the ingredients
list and cook till most of the moisture of peas is evaporated.
6.
Take the pan off the heat and let the filling
cool completely.
Process for Dough
1.
In a bowl take flour and add salt and carom seeds,
mix well.
2.
To this add the ghee and mix the ghee thoroughly.
The result would be coarse bread crumb lookalike mixtures. This process helps
to make the Kachoris crunchy and tender.
3.
Now by adding little by little water knead the
dough, into a smooth dough.
4.
Make sure not to over knead the dough, that may
take off the crispness of your Kachoris.
5.
Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 20
minutes.
Assembling the Kachoris:
1. Make
equal sized small balls of the dough, a little bigger than that of table tennis
ball
2. Using
your hand smoothen them and make in smooth ball.
3. Then
using tip of your fingers make cavity in the dough ball, so as to fill the
filling.
4. Once
done, Take 2 spoonful of the filling and place in the cavity created.
5. Once
done, bring all the edges together and seal the ball. For further reference please
have a look at the picture below (

6. Once
done fry the Kachoris in Medium heated oil on low to medium flame till you see
a golden brown crust on both the sides.
7. Repeat
the process for all the Kachoris.
You can enjoy these Kachoris best
with some spicy potato Curry, Mint Coriander Chutney or even ketchup. It will
taste awesome in all the ways…. :)
