  • 1 tbsp oil
  • ¼ tsp asafoetida (hing)
  • a pinch of turmeric powder (haldi)
  • ½ tbsp ginger (adrak) paste

Instructions
  1. For kachori dough (outer cover) in a bowl, combine all the ingredients mentioned in the list of kachori dough.
  2. Mix well and rub in between your palms to form a breadcrumbs like mixture.
  3. Knead into a semi-soft dough using enough water. Keep aside.
  4. For the stuffing of kachori in a mixer jar combine the fresh toovar and green peas and blend it to a coarse paste.
  5. Keep aside.
  6. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, add ginger and green chilli paste, asafoetida, seasame seeds and sauté on a medium flame for few seconds.
  7. In to this add the coarse paste of toovar & green pea mixture, mix well.
  8. Add fresh grated coconut. Cook on a medium flame for few minutes, stirring in between.
  9. Mix chopped coriander leaves, lemon juice, sugar, salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame. Keep aside to cool.
  10. Once the toovar peas mixture is cooled down divide it into equal portions and keep aside.
  11. Divide the dough also into equal portions as stuffing. It makes for almost 12 kachoris. Keep aside.
  12. Now roll out one portion of the dough into a circle chapati. Please don't apply any dough for rolling as this would soak more oil while frying kachoris.
  13. Place one portion of the stuffing in the centre of the rolled circle chapati. Bring all the edges together making neat pleats shown inthe picture.
  14. Seal the top of kachori tightly, pinching out the extra dough from the center.
  15. Repeat the same process to make remaining kachoris.
  16. Heat the oil in a deep kadai on a medium flame and deep-fry, 4 kachoris at a time on a slow flame.
  17. Keep turning them upside down in between till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides.
  18. Drain on an absorbent kitchen towel/ tissue paper.
  19. Serve hot kachoris immediately with green garlic chutney.
