Coming to this month Divya’s South vs North Indian bloggers challenge, South Indian teams are challenged with Peas kachori by Sanoli and North Indian teams are challenged with Paal Kozhukattai by our South Indian team member Tamil. Just 2hrs before I checked my mail floated with this Green Peas Stuffed Kachori with Aloo dum masala challenge, luckily this time I had all ingredients to do this recipe. Kids are taking nap so I quickly completed my challenge. This Peas kachori is North Indian/Bengali delicacy like stuffed puri, I tasted it before but this is the very first time making at home. Peas has to be ground coarse n stuffed in maida/APF dough, flattened thin/thick before deep fried, finally served with aloo dum masala. I thank the whole team for giving me the opportunity to prepare new recipes every month. Here comes the detailed recipe 🙂
First prepare the filling.
Ingredients for Filling
Green Peas – 2 Cups (I used frozen)
Sweet Corn Kernels – 1/4 Cup (Optional, I usually mix peas n corn kernels while freezing it)
Green Chillies – 2
Cumin Powder – 1tsp
Clarified Butter/Ghee – 1 Tbsp
Hing/Asafoetida – Pinch
Ginger paste – 1 tsp (Need another 2tsp for gravy preparation so make sure)
Sugar – 1 tsp (Adding sweet corn doesn’t need this sugar)
Salt -As needed
Method
- Pulse the mixie/blender with peas, corn kernels n green chillis to a coarse paste.
- Heat ghee in a pan add ginger paste, saute well.
- Add cumin powder, hing, salt, sugar mix well and finally add ground paste.
- Saute till all the moisture goes off.
- Allow to cool Pic 2 below, it should not stick much to ur hands and able to make gooseberry size balls, this is the perfect texture for stuffing.

Kachori dough preparation

Method

- Rest it for 30mins by brushing the top with little oil n covered, meanwhile prepare the gravy.
- After 30 mins, make equal size balls Pic 3, roll to round circle n keep the already prepared peas stuff.
- Cover the stuff with enough dough n remove the excess.
- Now again gently round it and roll to thin/thick layered kachori (See Note 1).
