Matar Kachori, peas kachori or hare matar ki khasta kachori is flaky, crispy deep fried pastry filled with spiced peas filling and it's popular North Indian breakfast than snack during winter when there are ample of fresh peas in market. Matar Ki kachori is something which I relate a lot and since fresh peas is popular in our house along with the matar ki dal this matar kachori is another regular dish. Matar Kachori with aloo sabzi is the most famous combo and it makes great brunch deal during weekends.


I wanted to post matar kachori for a long time but then getting fresh and good peas (matar) in Singapore is so difficult, though we get fresh peas but normally it's add dried and doesn't really look appealing to me, once in a while when I find some decent fresh peas then I get them without fail. And this time I got ample of peas and made various thing one of which is this matar kachori along with dubki wale aloo for my brother birthday.
