METHOD
  • Prepare the dough first.
  • Sift flour, salt & baking powder together.
  • Add oil & mix them well.
  • Next, add warm water slowly & knead well to form a dough.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth & keep it aside for an hour.

  •  Heat water in a pan & boil peas.
  • When the peas are well boiled, strain them.

  • Mash these boiled peas a little such that only some of them get mashed.


  • Next, heat oil in a pan & add cumin seeds to it.

  • Add the mashed peas & chopped green chillies to the oil.

  • Fry peas for a minute & then add red chilli powder, salt, turmeric powder & garam masala powder & mix them well till the peas are cooked well.
  • Once cooked well, add besan to the peas & fry for another 2 minutes.



  • Turn off the flame & the filling is ready to be used.
  • Next, take the dough that was initially prepared
  • Divide it into 7-8 balls to make the kachoris.
  • Flatten each ball a little & add 1-2 teaspoons of filling into it.

  • Stuff the filling inside & make a ball again.

  • Flatten this ball again using hands.
  • It should be slightly thick otherwise it might get pores while deep frying.

  • Next, heat oil for deep frying.
  • Drop these flattened kachoris in the hot oil.
  • Deep fry them from both sides till they are cooked well.
  • Keep the flame moderate as it would lead to perfect kachoris.


  • Once fried well, take them out & keep them on a paper towel so that it soaks the excess oil.
  • Matar kachori is ready to serve.
