Re: kachori recipe

Ingredients:
For Cover:


1 cup All Purpose Flour
1/4 cup Oil
salt to taste

For Filling:
3/4 cup Frozen green peas
4 Green Chilies
1/4 cup Cilantro
2 curry leaves

1/2 tsp cumin powder
Tempering:

1 tbsp Oil, 1/4 tsp Turmeric, 1/8 tsp Asafoetida (Optional), 1 tsp Red Chili Powder
salt to taste
Oil for deep frying

Method

1) Take all purpose flour into a bowl. add salt and oil mix well. Add water and knead to a medium consistency dough. Do not make soft dough. cover the dough for half an hour.
2) To make filling first, grind 4 Green Chilies, 1/4 cup Cilantro and 2 curry leaves to fine paste. Do not add water. If you are using frozen peas, defrost them before using. Grind them to fine to semi coarse paste.
3) Heat 1 tbsp oil in a saucepan. Temper with Turmeric, Asafoetida, Red Chili Powder and Cilantro-chili paste. saute for 10 seconds. Add Green Peas paste. saute over medium low heat until the mixture becomes dry. To cook peas, cover the pan with lid. Add salt to taste, Amchoor Powder, and cumin powder, mix well.
Once done, let this mixture cool down. Make 1 inch balls. This mixture makes 10 to 12 balls.
4) Now knead the all purpose flour dough nicely. and make 10 to 12 equal balls.
5) Heat oil for deep-frying. Take one ball, dust with little flour and roll into a 3 inch round disk.
Disk should be thin on the edges and little thick in the center. Place one ball of peas stuffing in the center of the disc. Put all edges together, seal nicely. It should cover the stuffing. Now again dust this ball with dry flour and carefully roll to a thick disk. while rolling, Stuffing should not come out.
6) Deep fry kachori over medium heat till brown and crisp both side.
