Before the season of fresh green peas came, there’s one recipe you should ready for– Mini Matar Kachori. Crispy on the outside, spicy and flavorful on the inside – these little kachoris are comforting. And trust me, the magic lies in the masalas!

What makes the flavor so good?

It’s not just about the peas. The real flavor bomb comes from the spices. We used Chukde Hing, Haldi, Red Chilli Powder, Garam Masala, and yes – a touch of Kasoori Methi. These aren't just any spices, Chukde’s originality and aroma take the whole dish to the next level. Even a pinch of their Ajwain in the dough gives that lovely, old-school kachori vibe.

Stuffing Ingredients:

• Fresh matar (green peas)
• Coriander (stems + leaves)
• Garlic, ginger & green chilli
• Jeera & fennel seeds
• Chukde Hing, Haldi, Red Chilli Powder, Garam Masala
• Chukde Kasoori Methi
• Dry fruits (optional)
• Amchoor powder, black pepper, sugar & salt

Grind the peas with ginger-garlic-chilli, then cook it with spices till it becomes a thick mixture.

Dough Ingredients:

• Wheat flour (atta)
• All-purpose flour (maida)
• Semolina (sooji)
• Chukde Ajwain, ghee, salt & water

Make a tight dough and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then stuff the prepared filling into small dough balls, flatten them, and deep-fry on low to medium heat till golden.
