Matar Kachori Recipe

Recipe By Uzma's Easy Recipes

Kachori has its origin in the state of Rajasthan, India. Today, it is a widely popular Indian snack and street food. Usually, a kachori is made at home on festive occasions like Holi, Diwali, weddings, or other family get-togethers. There are various savory kachori such as pyaaz (onion) kachori, khasta kachori, dal kachori, and then there sweet versions such as mawa kachori. Matar Ki Kachori is one of my favorite kachori flavors. The spicy filling of fresh green peas is what makes this kachori recipe so unique.
