Instructions

Making kachori stuffing

  • Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a pan and add 2 cups of green peas along with salt. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the green peas become slightly soft. Transfer them to a plate and let them cool down slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine ½ tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp red chili powder, 1 tsp dry mango powder, ½ tsp cumin powder, ½ tsp garam masala, ½ tsp black salt, ¼ tsp black pepper powder, and 1 tsp fennel seeds powder. Mix well to create the masala mix. Set it aside.
  • Once the green peas have cooled slightly, put them into a mixing jar. Add 2-3 spicy green chilies, 1-inch ginger, and ½ cup coriander leaves. Without adding water, crush them coarsely. Keep this mixture aside.
  • In the same pan, add 2 tbsp ghee. Add 2 tbsp besan and roast it until it slightly changes its color.
  • Add the prepared masala mix to the besan and mix well. Then add the crushed green peas mixture, 1 tsp sugar, and salt. Combine all ingredients thoroughly. The stuffing for the kachori is now ready. Form small-sized balls from the stuffing and set them aside.

Make the outer layer dough

  • in a pan, mix ½ cup curd, 1.5 cups water, and salt. Whisk to make an even mixture.
  • Place the pan on the heat and stir continuously until it starts to boil.
  • Slowly add rava while stirring continuously.
  • Transfer the cooked rava into a bowl and let it cool slightly.
  • Once the rava is warm, knead it well until the dough turns soft and smooth.

To assemble the kachori

  • grease your hands with oil and take a ball-sized portion of the dough.
  • spread kachori dough ball with hand and Place a ball of stuffing in the center, gather the edges together, and pinch to seal. Roll it into a round shape.
  • Heat oil in a pan and fry the kachoris on medium flame until they become crispy and golden brown on both sides.
  • Once done, remove the kachoris from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  • Finally, serve the vatana kachoris hot with green chutney and tomato sauce.

Notes

  • Sauté green peas over medium heat until they become slightly soft.
  • Coarsely crush the green peas; avoid grinding them into a fine paste.
  • Besan enriches the flavor and provides binding to the kachori stuffing.
  • Adding curd to the outer layer creates crispiness and imparts the perfect color to the kachori.
  • Add rava to the boiling mixture so that it can be easily absorbed.
  • Cook the mixture until it begins to leave the sides of the pan.
  • Knead the cooked mixture until it becomes smooth.
  • Fry the kachori over medium heat
