Matar ki kachori is a flaky, crispy deep-fried pastry filled with savory, spiced green peas stuffing. Learn how to make matar ki kachori recipe | Rajasthani vatana kachori | green peas kachori |

In the Hindi language, matar means green peas and Kachori is a deep-fried and flaky pastry.

This matar kachori has a flaky crust with a savory filling of tender green peas. Crushed green peas are pepped up with few refreshing spices with its prominent flavour. You will also enjoy the soft texture of the filling, which contradicts the crusty, melt-in-the-mouth covering!

This recipe can also be called Khasta matar kachori as the outer pastry is flaky and crisp. I usually make this snack when we get fresh green peas during the Indian winters. But with this recipe, you can enjoy this delicious snack in any season.

Kachoris are also a popular street food and the stuffing can vary from vegetables to lentils and even dry fruits. They are not much different from the Samosa except for the filling and the shape.

Serve these Rajasthani vatana kachori for Breakfast or Evening Tea Snacks with green chutney and khajur imli chutney. You can also try our kachori chaat recipe.

pro tips to make matar ki kachori recipe: 1. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes to relax the gluten, resulting in a crispier kachori. 2. Make sure to use fresh green peas to make this recipe for the best results. 3. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent the oil from cooling down.

how to make the dough
    how to make the dough
  1. To make matar ki kachori recipe | Rajasthani vatana kachori | green peas kachori | in a deep bowl, add 2 cups of plain flour (maida). Plain flour (maida) is the primary ingredient in the dough used to make matar ki kachori. It provides the structure and elasticity necessary to form the outer shell of the kachori.
  2. Add 3 tbsp melted ghee. Ghee helps to create a tender and flaky dough texture. When kneaded into the flour, it coats the gluten strands, preventing them from forming tight bonds. This results in a lighter, crispier kachori with a delicate texture.
  3. Add salt to taste.
  4. Add ¾ cup water.
  5. Knead into a stiff dough. A stiff dough helps to create a crispy and flaky exterior. When deep-fried, the dough will puff up and become light and airy, while the exterior will develop a golden-brown crust.
  6. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth and keep aside for 15 minutes.
  7. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a broad non-stick pan.
  2. Add ½ tsp cumin seeds (jeera). The flavor of cumin seeds is complex and multifaceted, adding depth and richness to the overall taste of the kachori.
  3. Add ¼ tsp asafoetida (hing).
  4. Add 1 tsp ginger (adrak) paste. Ginger paste adds a warm, pungent, and slightly sweet flavor to matar ki kachori.
  5. Add 2 tsp green chilli paste. Green chilli paste adds a layer of heat and complexity to the matar ki kachori recipe. 1 It provides a sharp, pungent flavor that complements the sweetness of the peas and the richness of the spices. The amount of green chilli paste used can be adjusted to suit individual preferences for spice level.
  6. Sauté on a medium flame for a minute.
  7. Add 1 1/2 cups coarsely crushed fresh green peas. The coarse texture of the crushed peas adds a satisfying crunch to the kachori. It provides a contrast to the soft, flaky dough and the creamy filling.
  8. Add ½ tsp turmeric powder (haldi). Turmeric adds a warm, earthy flavor that complements the other spices and ingredients in the kachori.
  9. Add 1 tsp garam masala. 
  10. Add 2 tsp lemon juice.
  11. Add salt to taste.
  12. Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Keep aside to cool slightly.

Loved the recipe. The kachoris remained crisp when stored, usually the ones I make torn soggy in a day or two.??
