Instructions
- Prepare a dough using all purpose flour, ghee, salt and water as required. Cover the dough with a damp cloth so that it should not get dried.
- If you are using frozen peas, thaw them properly and bring them to room temperature.
- Take green peas, ginger piece and green chilli in a grinder and make a coarse paste.
- Now heat oil in a pan and add fennel seed and asafoetida. Once they start crackling, add the coarse paste into it.
- Next add all the dry spices along with salt and sugar. Mix them really well by stirring continuously.
- Once the mixture becomes little dry in nature, switch off gas and allow it to cool.
- Now make lemon size balls from the dough and stuff each ball with the prepared peas filling. Seal it properly.
- Roll them like circle with 3 inch diameter.
- Heat oil in a wok and deep fry the rolled kochuris one by one under medium to high flame.
- Once both sides are fried well, take them out on a kitchen towel so that extra oil gets absorbed.
- Serve hot kochuris with dum aloo or your favorite curry.
