Place one spoon full of green pea stuffing in the center. Bring all the edges of the dough together and press them gently to seal.
Apply little oil on both sides again and roll the stuffed kachori to a puri size circle again.
Once the oil is hot, geently drop the kachori and apply gentle pressure on the kachori so that it puffs up nicely.
Turn over and fry the other side as well till golden.
Transfer the kachori on a kitchen towel to drain out excess oil.
Serve koraishutir kochuri plain or with cholar dal / aloor dum or any other chutney.
