Description

Koraishutir Kochuri is an addictive Bengali dish. Deep fried puffed bread filled with a savory pea paste.

Ingredients

Dough

4 cups maida (500g)

6 tbsp. oil
1 tsp. salt
ghee (for kneading)

Warm water (for kneading)

Peas filling

500g Peas (Fresh or Frozen)
1 tbsp. Fennel seeds (powdered)

1/4 tsp. Hing or Asafoetida
2 inch Ginger
3-4 Green chillies

1 tbsp. Ghee
1 tbsp. Oil
Salt (to taste)

Instructions

Making the green peas filling

You can take fresh or frozen peas for this recipe
Add the peas, ginger, and green chillies in a grinder jar and grind to a fine paste. You will need to add some water while grinding so that the paste is absolutely fine
Grind the fennel seeds to a powder

Set a pan on medium heat and add oil and ghee
Add Hing, the peas paste, fennel seed powder and salt to taste.
Stir fry till the paste dries up and you are able to make a little ball with your fingers and doesn’t stick to your fingers

Set the paste aside
You can either use the paste immediately or store it in the fridge to use later

Making the kochuris

Take all purpose purpose flour in a big bowl

Add salt and oil (add one tbsp. at a time) and mix. Add enough oil so that when you make a fist with the flour it holds its shape.
Add warm water (little at a time) and make a dough. Add some ghee to your hand and knead the dough
Keep the dough covered for 30 min

Divide the dough in 4
Stretch each part and make into 6 dough balls (6×4 dough balls in total)
Roll the dough and fill it with the pea filling (refer to the video below)

Fry the kochuri in hot oil till it puffs up and is golden brown on both sides
