Dough Preparation

Put the flour in a utensil and mix the salt and oil in it. With the help of water knead a soft dough and keep it aside for 20 minutes.

Filling preparation

Grind the green peas in a grinder. Put oil in a frying pan and heat it. Add asafetida and cumin seed. After the cumin seed turns brown, add coriander powder and grinded green peas. Now add red chili, garam masala, amchur powder, green chili, ginger, coriander and salt and the filling is ready.

Keep oil in the frying pan and heat it. Take out a small lump (size of lemon) from the dough and shape it like a ball. Roll and flatten the dough into a disk of 1 or 2 inches diameter. Put one small spoon of filling on the flattened dough and close it with your fingers. Now press it into an round shape so that the filling spreads evenly inside it. Now again roll it into a puri shape. Like this use all the dough and filling to make these kachori. Now fry those 2 to 3, together in the frying pan and fry them till they turn light brown then serve hot along with coriander chutney.
