Then add the paste,salt,cumin powder and sugar.

Keep on stirring until it becomes cooked and completely dry.

Now the dough and green peas filling is ready.

Divide the dough into small equal portions and also divide the green peas filling .I divide it into seven equal portions.

Now grease a rolling board with few drops of oil or dust with flour , Roll each portion into a small circle.

Place the portion of green peas filling in the middle of the circle and bring all the edges together and seal it.

Stuff the other balls also like this.

Flatten gently the all stuffed balls into round shape (Kachori shape)

Flatten all the Stuffed balls and keep aside.

Heat enough oil and fry until the both sides are golden brown.

Drain oil and keep aside.Continue the process for remaining kachoris.
