Bengali Style Koraishutir Kachuri (Puri stuffed with green peas)
Koraishutir kachuri or
motorshutir kachuri is one of the most sought after dish for Bengalis in
winter. The combination of koraishutir kochuri and aloor dum is simply
irresistible. Koraishutir kochuri is basically puri stuffed with fresh green
peas paste and aloor dum is a special Bengali side dish prepared from potatoes.

Recipe:
At first boil green peas
and make a paste in the mixer. Dry roast cumin seeds, red chili and cardamom,
clove, cinnamon and grind it in the mixer to make a spice powder and keep aside
with a lid. Now heat 1 tbsp oil or ghee in a pan and put the green peas paste. Keep
stirring and add salt and a pinch of sugar. After a while, spread the freshly
prepared spice powder.
Now take a large bowl and
take flour, 5-6 tbsp oil, a pinch of salt and mix it gently. Now add sufficient water to make dough.
Make small balls from the dough, make it shape like a small bowl, put a small portion
of green peas paste and fold it. Take it in one palm and place the other palm
on top and rotate it. This will now look like balls stuffed with green peas
paste. Now roll the balls into circles. Do not try to make this too thin as the
stuffing will come out then.
Now heat sufficient oil in
a deep pan or kadai and fry the kachuris one by one till they puff up and you
see light golden colour.
Serve hot kachuri with aloor dum. I would recommend keep the last one
or two pieces of kachuri to be eaten with semiya kheer. This should complete a sumptuous
dinner.
