Matar ki Kachori- Fresh green pea stuffed fried bread

Kachoris are deep fries flaky crisp bread,They are stuffed with lentils ,spices or vegetables. The main difference between poori and kachori is that pooris are mostly plain and kachoris are stuffed with either lentils,spice mix or vegetables. kachoris are more crisper and flaky then pooris.

In my family we all love kachoris ,be it the famous Urad daal ki khasta kachori which is served with khatta metha kaddu or the Moong daal kachori or the Aloo ki khasta kachori which I learned from a good friend of mine .Festivals are incomplete without having some thing crsip ,spicy and delicious food.

Notes

Note-
  1. Addition of mango powder is optional ,you can also add chat masala instead of mango powder.
  2. Garam Masala can also be added if you want to make it spicy. Though Bengali's make it mild in taste with the prominent sweet taste of fresh peas.
  3. You can add 1.5 tsp of roasted gram flour/besan in the filling if it is quite sticky or soft even after cooking and you are having difficulty in rolling.
  4. 2-3 tbsp of semolina/sooji can be added in the dough to make kachoris more crispier.
