Karaishutir kachuri With Alur Dum / Green Peas Kachori with Dum Aloo
I had
made a kachori with peas filling, check here. In that I used the peas as whole.
In this recipe it was the grounded peas is
stuffed inside the dough and deep fried , which is served with the spicy dum
aloo. This spicy gravy goes well with
the sweet taste of kachoris from the green peas.
This green peas kachori is a Bengali delicacy
, served specially for the breakfast or dinner. I made it for evening , we
finished off in the evening itself.
I replaced maida fully with
the whole wheat flour to make these kachoris.
Bengalis make these during
winter season, as green peas is available abundantly then. We can make with the
dried green peas also.
The recipe may seems long and difficult , but it was so easy to make with
minimal preparations.
Green Peas Kachori –
Bengali Recipe
This kachori is made with
the grounded green peas stuffed In the dough and deep fried in hot oil.
Requirements :
For dough :
Whole wheat flour / Maida –
2 cup
Oil – 2 tbs
Salt to taste
Water as required
For the filling :
Green peas – 2 cup
Ginger – 1’’
Sugar – 1 tsp
Hing/ Asafoetida – ¼ tsp
Cumin powder – 1 tsp
Oil / ghee – 4 tbs
Green chilly – 2 - 3
Grated Ginger – 1 tsp
Salt as required
Method :
Making of Dough :
Mix the flour , salt and oil together.
Knead it well by adding the
required water and make a soft dough. About half the quantity of water is
needed. Say for two cup of flour 1 cup of water is needed.
Cover the dough and let it
rest.
For filling :
Grind the green peas and green chilli to a coarse paste.
Melt the butter , add the
hing.
Now add the grounded green
peas paste. Stir well in medium flame. There will be a nice aroma of the green
peas.
Add the grated ginger and
mix well.
Add the cumin powder ,
sugar and salt , mix well.
Keep stiring till all the
water content is evaporated.
Let it cool and make into
small balls.
Filling for the kachoris is
ready.
Some will add freshly
roasted and grounded red chilly and cumin powder as well as aniseed power. These
will act as flavouring and spicy agents.
Making kachoris :
Take the dough and shape
into small round balls.
Press a ball with the
rolling pin to a circle of 3’’ diameter.
Place a ball of the filling
and cover on all sides. Seal the edges well to avoid leaking of the filling.
Press again with the
rolling pin to 5’’ diameter .
Deep fry the prepared
kachori in hot oil.
Fry till golden brown on both sides.
Another Method – Pressing with
hand
Take a dough ball , place
it in the left palm and press it with the right hand fingers and flatten.
Place the filling in the
center.
Cover all the sides.
Flatten again with the
fingers carefully.
Deep fry the kachori in hot

Repeat the same with the
remaining dough and filling.

This has a sweet taste; I liked
it without any sides.
