Mutter Ki kachori happens to be the most favorite North Indian snack during the winters. Unlike those regular lentil and spice stuffed kachoris, the mutter kachori is filled with a spicy green pea filling and is served with tangy tamarind chutney and also with bedmi aloo ki sabzi at various places in North India.

For Making Kachori :
- Take a small lemon size dough ball and roll it into a thick poori size
- Take about 1 tbsp aloo-matar masala in a ball form and keep it in the middle of the poori.
- Now, pull all sides of the poori around it in round form and pinch off the extra dough from the top
- Now, press the middle of the kachori nicely with a thumb (otherwise kahcori may open up when you put it in hot oil)
- Press it with hand only (don't roll or else the masala will ooze out) and give it a round shape.
- Heat oil in another deep pan and add these kachoris one by one and fry them in low flame till golden brown. If you take a wider pan and if your oil is hot enough, you can even fry 2-3 together.
- Take them on paper towel and soak the extra oil Serve hot with Imli Chutney / tomato ketchup or curd !!!
