Bengali Matar Kachori / Koriashutir Kachori / Green peas Kachori



Coming to the day 3 of  Indian Bread basket theme I chose to share a simple stuffed poori aka kachori with green peas.
In West Bengal poori is called as kachori and it is not a crispy and flaky kachori served as a snack.This kachori is mostly served with aloor dum or some potato curry as the stuffing is mildly spicy.But I had mine with pickle and yogurt,it tasted so good.Try this simple kachori and enjoy,off to the recipe.........................

Coming to day 2 recipe for the blogging marathon#62,themed under no tomato gravy is a rich and creamy cauliflower aka gobi masala. As my family loves cauliflower,so it appears in my kitchen frequently in some form.I tried this cauliflower curry without tomato and used yogurt and cashews paste.The result was such an awesome and creamy curry.
