Matar ki kachauri

#favouritewinterbreakfast#

In the weekends I try to make some special dishes which everyone likes to have in my family.

How could I just let the winters go away without making one of my favorite breakfasts matar ki kachauri.

The tongue tickling kachauris have stuffing of smoothly blended cooked seasonal peas with ginger and some spices.
Making these kachauris is easy and involves four steps, make filling, make dough, packing the stuff into dough and frying.

Sharing the recipe: This recipe makes 8 kachauris.

Ingredients to make dough:

-1 cup maida
-1/8 cup melted ghee
-salt as per your taste
-ajwain seeds - few
- black cumin seeds -few
-water for kneading
-refind oil for frying

Method to make dough:

- take maida in a bowl, add ghee, salt, ajwain and black cumin seeds, mix well.
Adding water gradually knead it to make a soft dough. Keep it aside, covered for 10-15 minutes. 
-divide the dough into 8 equal size balls.




Ingredients to make the filling:

-1 cup peas washed
-1/4 tsp ghee
-1/2 tsp cumin seeds
-1 tsp ginger chopped
-1/4 cup water
-a pinch of turmeric powder
-1 tsp sugar
-salt as per your taste

Method:

-heat ghee in a kadahi, add 4-5 cumin seeds, let it crackle, add a pinch of turmeric powder, peas and salt, immediately add water, cook covered for 5 minutes on low flame.
-remove the lid, peas should have become soft, saute for another 2-3 minutes and let the remaining water dry, add sugar and let it melt and peas be shrink
-switch off the flame and take it out in a plate, let it cool.
-add peas, cumin seeds and ginger into a grinder and grind it very smooth without adding water.
(Don't add water otherwise you cannot fill this into dough, it takes time to blend smooth, so have patience and try blending in intervals)
-once you reach the smooth consistency, start filling this into balls(dough) one by one.
-roll into circular shape and deep fry.


Serve immediately with sweet tomato chutney or pickle.

Tips:
* Don't use water to grind the peas.
* If while rolling, the fillings come out, apply thick maida paste, it will help while frying (make paste by adding 1tsp of maida and 1/4 tsp water)

* You can make matar parathas also if you don't want to eat kachauris. Follow the below link to see the recipe.
