#winter
Peas are something which can be seen in abundance in every Indian house during winters. We make curries, paratha's, pakora, kebab's, kachori etc.
One such winter essential street food is Matar Kachori. You can even replace peas with green chana. This kachori is a burst of flavours. It is sweet, tangy and spicy. Serve it with Coriander or mint chutney.

Steps

1

Firstly make the dough. In a bowl mix all purpose flour, salt, oil, add little water and make a soft dough. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth or simply sprinkle some water and cover it with lid. Keep it aside.
2

For stuffing in a blender add peas, green chilli, ginger and grind it. Grind it little coarse.
3

Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, cumin, fennel and asafoetida. Allow it to crackle.
4

Now add the peas paste, red chilli powder and mix everything well. Then add salt, anchor and sugar. Mix it well and cook the paste for 3 minutes.
5

Now add gram flour, mix it well and cover it. Allow it to steam for 6-8 minutes on a flame.
6

After 8 minutes, remove it from the flame. Allow the pea masala to get cool. Make small equal balls out of it.
7

Now remove the muslin cloth from the dough. Knead it again and make small balls out of it. Slightly bigger in size than pea masala balls.
8

Now with the fingers stretch the dough ball little then stuff the pea masala in it. Make sure to seal it properly. After stuffing press it flat.
9

Repeat the stuffing step and make the kachoris out of entire stuffing.
10

Meanwhile, heat oil for deep frying. Oil should not be hot. It should be lukewarm. Insert the kachoris for frying in small batches. It takes almost 20 minutes to get a nice golden colour on it.
11

Once kachori is crispy and golden in colour. Take it out on a tissue paper and serve it.
12

Serve it with fresh Coriander or Mint chutney.
