 I almost followed the same recipe but the inside stuffing is bit different. As green peas is in season, i thought i will make the stuffing with green peas. Enjoy this popular street food .

  • Carefully roll this into a small disc. Ensure that the filling should not come out and it should get tear while rolling. Else the filling will come out while frying.
  • Keep the oil ready for deep frying. The oil shouldn't be too hot. else it will be get cooked inside.
  • If it is less hot it will drink oil and won't turn crispy.
  • To check it, put a pinch of plain dough into the oil and if it immediately comes up it is the right temperature.

  • Deep fry on both sides and drain the excess oil in a kitchen towel.
  • Repeat the same procedure for rest of the filling.

  • Always keep the dough covered. Even after making keep it covered till you fry.

Notes:
  1. Always keep the  dough covered. If it is dry you will get crispy kachoris.
  2. The stuffing should be dry. so drain the excess water from the boiled peas and allow it to dry completely.
