Matar Kachauri aur Tamatar Aloo ki Sabji




One of my favorite recipes.The kachauri requires a little work but the sabji is
super simple.This recipe is from my Grandma's treasury of recipes.My Grandma and
my husband share a love of Kachauris so I'm probably going to upload more
kachauri recipes in the future.Usually the matar kachauris are stuff with matar
but in this recipe the matar is combined in the dough.Makes the process easier
without compromising the taste..and the kachauris have a lovely green color :)

Ingredients:
For the Kachaudi
1/2 cup boiled peas
1 green chilli chopped
1/2 inch ginger chopped
1 tbsp chopped corainder
1 tsp garam masala
1 cup flour
salt to taste
oil for deep frying

For the Sabji
4 potatos boiled and chopped
3 tomatos chopped
1 inch ginger fine slices
1 green chilli chopped
1/2 bunch corainder
1 tsp jeera(cumin)
1 tsp hing(asafoetida)
1 tsp garam masala
salt to taste
ghee 2 tbsp


Method:
1.Grind peas,chili,ginger,coriander garam masala to a fine paste
2.Add the flour,salt and knead to a stiff dough.Ideally the peas paste is
moist enough to combine with the dough but in case it isnt add a little
milk.
3.Heat oil in a kadhai.When the oil starts smoking,roll out small chapati from the
dough and fry the kachoris.
4.For the sabji,heat ghee in a kadhai and add cumin chilli,ginger,hing fry
for a few minutes
5.Add the tomatoes, garam masala,salt and potatoes.Fry for 10mins.For more
gravy add 1/2 cup of water.Boil for 4mins.
6.Garnish with chopped coriander.Serve hot with the kachauris.
