Greenpeas Kachori with Spicy Dum Aloo /Koraishutir Kochuti R Aloor Dam~~SNC Challenge

Do i need to talk about the successful monthly event called 'SNC challenge', i can talk about this event for a whole day, actually this event is started by one of the most sweetest blogger of this virtual world,she is none other than Divya Pramil of You Too Can Cook. The motto of this event is to exchange an Indian recipe between two teams. One team is Southern team (bloggers  born and brought in South India) and the another one team is Northern team (food bloggers born and brought in North India). Every first of a month, a blogger from each team will challenge a recipe from their origin and the opposite team have to cook the recipe challenged by the other team. If you are like me,a South Indian by birth obviously you wont have any idea of many traditional dishes from North India, obviously this event will definitely motivate you to cook and taste those unknown famous North Indian foods.

Today morning, the first thing i did is to check my mail to know wat was our this month's SNC challenge, thank god Sonali challenged us with my favourite deep fried fritters called 'Greenpeas Kachori with Dum Aloo', i have already tasted kachori with green peas and dum aloo apart but never together, definitely this kachori with dum aloo is a wonderful chance for us to taste this fabulous Bengali delicacy challenged by the wonderful Sanoli while Southern team challenged the northern team with Paal Kozhukattai, a recipe challenged by Tamilarasi, every South Indians would have definitely tasted this lil rice dumplings in sweet coconut milk atleast once in a while, its quite a traditional sweet we do quite often during Ganesh Chathurthi or else sometime for our evening snacks.

Thanks to both Sanoli and Tamilarasi for being this month's hosts and am sure both teams will have definitely a wonderful time in cooking these both challenges. Since i have all the ingredients for the greenpeas kachori and dum aloo, just finished making them and enjoying while writing this post. I just skipped my lunch as i could resist tasting this yummy food,enjoying this beautiful kachoris with flavourful and fingerlicking dum aloo. Sanoli, am loving this combo dear, if you would havent challenged us with this recipe,i would have never thought of combining this both together. Thanks a ton. 


For Green Peas Filling:
3cups Green Peas (frozen)
4nos Green Chillies
1/4tsp Asafoetida
1tsp Ginger paste
1tsp Sugar
1tspCumin powder
1tbsp Clarified Butter/ghee
Salt to taste

For Kachoris:
3cups All Purpose Flour /maida
1/2 tsp Salt
4 tbsps Oil 
Oil for Deepfrying

Grind the green peas with green chillies with few drops of water as coarse paste.

Heat the ghee, add the asafoetida powder,fry and add the grounded green peas paste in it, add now the ginger paste and mix everything nicely.

Now add the cumin powder, salt and sugar to the paste and stir continously until the excess water evaporates.

Once the mixture is almost dry,put off the stove and keep aside to cool completely.

Take the maida,salt and oil in a bowl, knead to a smooth and stiff dough with enough water and keep for half an hour aside.

Divide the dough and the already prepared green peas paste as equal balls.

Roll a dough ball as a small disc, place a green peas ball and seal the edges tightly, roll it gently as a circle with a rolling pin, be careful not to press much so that the filling will come out.

Meanwhile heat the oil for deep frying, once the oil is hot, drop gently the already rolled kachoris and fry until the oil stops bubbling.

Drain the excess of oil with a paper towel and repeat the same process until the dough and filling gets finished.

For Dum Aloo:
10nos Baby Potatoes
1/4 tsp Asafoetida powder
1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
1/2 tsp Fennel seeds
1 Bay leaf
1/2cup Green Peas
4nos Green Chillies (chopped)
1no Tomato (big & chopped)
1/2tsp Turmeric powder
1/2tsp Cumin powder
1tbsp Ginger paste
1tsp Coriander powder
1tsp Kashmiri Red Chilli powder
1/2tsp Sugar
1/2tsp Garam Masala
2tbsps Coriander Leaves(chopped)
3/4cup Plain Yogurt (thick)
Oil
Salt

Wash and pressure cook the baby potatoes, once they get cool,peel the potatoes.

Heat oil in a pan,fry the baby potatoes until they turns brown, remove from the oil and keep aside.

To the same pan, fry the bay leaf,asafoetida powder,cumin seeds,fennel seeds until they turns brown;

Add in the green peas and fry for few minutes, add now the chopped tomatoes,green chillies and fry for few more minutes.

Finally add the turmeric powder,coriander powder, ginger paste,chilly powder and salt, cook until the oil separates from the spices.

Now add the sugar,already fried potatoes and cook for 3minutes, add the thick yogurt to the potatoes,cook everything for 5minutes and put of the stove,finally add the coriander leaves.

Serve hot the green peas kachori along with spicy fingerlicking dum aloo..

Hey Priya ...
Super woman, tempting :-)
Great work !!!!!!!!!

Abhilash Pillai said... Reply To This Comment

excuse me Priya, where can I get the application form to apply to this event.

Kidding..., I know I am not an expert as you guys to get an admission now... :)

The theme is very good, in a short time you can learn a lot of north Indian recipes. The question is whether you will forget the South Indian recipes ;)

Amma says it is the magic within the hands that gives the food an extra taste and not the kind of recipe or the addition of ingredients. Not sure on that, but I love whatever she prepares. She is the best cook I have ever seen around...

I did not get the privilege to taste the recipes you prepare, so I used "I have seen around"...

I appreciate your effort of continuously writing posts, I tried but I am not successful in it. As my boss says, you need to have a passion to get involved, it is that my passion keeps on changing ;)
