Ingredients
For the Dough
- 3 cup All-Purpose Flour maida
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup Water add more as needed to achieve desired dough consistency
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil or desi ghee
For the Filling
- 2 cup Peas frozen, green, thawed
- 2 Chili finely chopped, green
- 1 tbsp Ginger finely grated
- 1 tsp Fennel Seeds saunf
- 1/4 tsp Asafoetida hing
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 2 tbsp Gram Flour besan
- 1/2 tsp Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add water while kneading until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Make the Filling
- Combine thawed peas, green chilies, and ginger in a blender. Pulse until coarsely ground, avoiding a completely smooth mixture.
Cook the Filling
- Heat oil in a pan. Add fennel seeds and asafoetida. Sauté briefly. Add the pea mixture, red chili powder, and garam masala. Mix well. Stir in chickpea flour and salt. Cook on low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and is cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Assemble the Kachoris
- Divide the dough into small equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 3-4 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of the pea filling in the center. Bring the edges together, pinching tightly to seal completely. Gently flatten the sealed ball into a disc.
Fry the Kachoris
- Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Carefully place the kachoris into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Matar Kachoris
- For extra flaky kachoris, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling.
- Don't over-blend the pea filling; a slightly coarse texture is ideal.
- Use medium-low heat while frying to ensure the kachoris cook through without burning.
- Serve hot with tamarind chutney or your favorite dipping sauce for a complete culinary experience.
