Koraishutir Kachori: A crispy, deep-fried Bengali delicacy stuffed with flavorful spiced green peas.
🛒 Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 🔸 500g Maida (All-purpose flour)
- 🔸 2 tbsp Refined Oil (Moyen)
- 🔸 1 tsp Sugar & Salt (to taste)
- 🔸 ¼ tsp Baking Soda
For the Filling:
- 🔸 500g Fresh Green Peas (Koraishuti)
- 🔸 1 pinch Hing (Asafoetida) - Essential!
- 🔸 1 tsp Ginger Paste & 4 Green Chilies
- 🔸 Cumin Seeds & Roasted Cumin Powder
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: The Peas Filling
Boil and mash the peas with chilies. Sauté in mustard oil with hing, ginger paste, and spices until the mixture is dry and aromatic. Let it cool completely.
Step 2: The Perfect Dough
Mix maida with oil, salt, and sugar until it feels crumbly. Add water gradually to make a soft dough. Rest for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Stuffing & Rolling
Take small dough balls, create a well, and stuff with the pea mixture. Seal tightly and roll gently into thick discs. Be careful not to let the filling pop out!
Step 4: Deep Frying
Fry in hot oil on medium heat. Gently press with a slotted spoon to help them puff up into golden balloons.
🌟 Sarkar's Secret Tips
- The Hing Factor: Don't skip the Asafoetida (Hing); it's the soul of the peas filling.
- Cooling: Always ensure the filling is 100% cool before stuffing, or the kachoris will tear.
- Pairing: Serve hot with Niramish Alur Dom for the ultimate feast.
