Instructions
1
To begin making the Corn Matar Kachori method, we will first make the flour base for the outer crust of the Matar Kachori.In a large mixing container, combine all the elements for the Kachori flour base to form a crumble like texture.
2
Gradually introduce moisture into the baking flour mixture and fold to make a soft and velvety flour base.Once all the baking flour has come together, keep kneading for 3 to 4 mins so the flour base becomes velvety and soft.
3
wrap the flour base and keep it aside for 10 mins till we prepare the filling for the kachori.The next step is to make the filling for the Corn and Matar Kachori.Into a food processor, introduce all the filling elements and pulse to make a coarse mixture.
4
Once the kachori filling is ready, transfer to a container, check the table salt and spices and adjust to suit your palate.The next step is the roll out the flour base and make the Matar Kachoris.
5
You can either shape them as flat breads or keep it as a ball, its a personal choice.And to make the Kachori's you can either use an Air Fryer, cook thoroughly in an Oven or Deep sauté them.
6
I have tried all the methods and my favorite has been with the Air Fryer. The best part about using the Air Fryer is, I was able to pre-make these Kachoris in the Air Fryer and reheat it in the Air Fryer to make it crisp again.Divide the flour base into 12 to 15 equal portions and roll out each flour base into 2 inch diameter circles.Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of the rolled out flour base.
7
Bring all the sides of the flour base together to seal the filling.
8
Twist the flour base to seal the Corn Matar Kachori well.
9
When you bring the flour base you might find some excess flour base collected on the top, remove this flour base.Proceed to make the remaining Matar Kachoris the similar way.You can either choose to keep the Kachori like a ball or roll the Kachori gently to make a 3 inch diameter circle.
10
Take care when you roll, as the filling might spill out.If you are using the Air Fryer or the Oven, then preheat them at 180 C for about 15 mins.
11
Place the Kachoris in the Air Fryer Basket or the Baking sheet (for the oven) and cook thoroughly until the Kachoris are golden brown and crisp on all sides.If you plan to deep sauté them, then preheat the cooking oil for deep frying.
12
Once the cooking oil is heated, sauté the Kachoris on low to medium mildly hot until you get a deep golden brown color and it is crisp.
13
Once golden, sieve on absorbent paper and proceed to make the remaining Kachoris the similar way.enjoy these mouth watering Corn and Matar Kachoris as a tea time or evening snack along with Green Chutney and Date Chutney.

You can also enjoy them as starter for dinner parties.
