Instructions

Mix the flour, salt ,carrom seeds in 1/4 cup oil.
Now slowly add little water at a time and knead the all purpose flour to form a soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and keep it aside.
For the filling, take a saucepan. Add oil and heat it on a medium flame.
Add in the asafoetida, cumin seeds and fennel seeds, then let these seeds splutter. Next add ginger and saute it.
Put in the mashed green peas and cook it for 10 mins. Next add the mashed potatoes and cook till it turns slightly brown in colour.
Now add in the salt and red chilli powder. Then add in the chickpea flour, garam masala, chopped coriander and combine it well. It is important to dry out the excess water as it will be tough to form the kachoris.
Then remove from the heat and keep it aside. Let it cool down a bit. Then add the grated cheese.
To make the kachoris, divide the dough into 10 equal parts. One at a time, roll out the dough into about 2 inches diameter circle. Repeat this process with the rest of the dough.
Take one circle in the palm of your hands and form a cup shape with your palm. Take 1 part of the filling and keep it in the centre of the dough.
Seal the dough from all sides tightly with your thumbs. Wet your hands with water and seal the ends.
Keep it on a plate and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Make all the kachoris in the same manner.
Take a deep pan and fill it half way with oil and heat it. Then fry all these kachoris on a medium flame till the kachoris turn golden brown in colour.
Serve it hot with tamarind and green chutney.
