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.........................

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
