I have already shared the authentic khasta kachori recipe which is prepared from moong dal and other spices stuffing. However, I somehow felt that peas kachori were much simpler and tastier compared to the previous one. In addition, I even felt that the matar ki kachori was even more flaky and layered. This could be because I may have kneaded for a longer time. Or it could be because of the green peas which are comparatively juicer and have more moisture compared to dry moong dal. Hence I am proposing to you that, you should certainly give a try to this simple snack. I am certain that you would enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee.

Some important tips before jumping into the actual recipe for the perfect matar kachori recipe. Typically the kachoriโ€™s served in restaurants or with street vendors are extra fluffy because the dough is prepared with baking powder. I have not added in this recipe but you are more than welcome to add a pinch of it. Secondly, Matar ki kachori has to be deep fried on a low flame like a samosa. Otherwise, the kachori will not turn flaky and crispy plus cooks it evenly. Lastly, you can serve these kachoris with either potato curry or even with mango pickle. I like it with Maggieโ€™s hot and sweet tomato ketchup sauce, but it is completely individual preference.
