Instructions

To make Bhaja Masala:

  • Toast cumin seed, carom seed, and dried red chili on a non-stick pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • Allow the spices to cool entirely.
  • Grind the toasted spices into a coarse powder and incorporate the bhaja masala into the stuffing.

To make the stuffing:

  • %how to make the stuffing o f Koraishutir Kochuri
  • Create a smooth blend of Green Peas using a blender or the traditional Shill Batta or Shil Nora, along with the Green Chilies.
  • In a pan (preferably non-stick), heat oil and infuse it with asafoetida and ginger paste. Cook for 1 minute over low heat.
  • Introduce the peas blend and cook on medium heat until the raw scent of peas dissipates entirely.
  • Add 1 Tsp. of Bhaja Masala Powder, Salt, and Sugar to the mixture and stir the stuffing.
  • Continue cooking for a few more minutes until the mixture no longer sticks to the edges of the pan, then turn off the heat.
  • Allow the mixture to cool down completely.

To make the Dough:

  • Prepare two cups of water to have on hand when making the dough.
  • Use a sieve to sift the flour and salt together.
  • Combine the flour mixture with oil and mix it by hand until it becomes crumbly.
  • Gradually add half a cup of water to the flour mixture.
  • Knead the dough, adding water as needed.
  • It took me approximately one cup and three to four tablespoons of water to achieve a dough that wasn't too tight.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it sit for 10 minutes.

To Make Kochuri

  • Divide the dough into approximately 20 equal parts.
  • Shape each portion of dough into a ball about the size of a ping pong ball.
  • Flatten one dough ball in your hand or on the kitchen counter, as shown in the picture.
  • Place a spoonful of stuffing in the center and seal the flattened dough to create a stuffed ball.
  • Repeat this process for the remaining dough balls.
  • Heat enough oil in a wok to fry the Kachories.
  • Using a rolling pin, flatten each stuffed ball into a 4-5'' disk.
  • Be careful not to create a hole in the center of the disk.
  • If needed, lightly oil the rolling board before rolling the dough.
  • Fry the disks on both sides over medium heat.
  • While frying, gently press the Kochuri with a perforated ladle to ensure proper puffing.
  • Continue deep frying the remaining Kochuri.
  • Serve the Koraishutir Kochuri with Natun Aloor Dum and Nolen Gur!

Notes

  • Instead of using fresh green peas, it is possible to use canned peas instead. I personally prefer a velvety paste for the filling, although a slightly grainy paste can also be made.
  • Make sure to modify the amount of spices, especially chili, according to your own preference.
