Put the flour in a utensil and mix the salt and oil in it. With the help of 100 gm water (1 small bowl), knead a soft dough and keep it aside for 10 minutes.
Till then, let's prepare the matar pithi to fill in the kacori.
Grind the green peas in a grinder.
Put oil in a frying pan and heat it. Add asafetida and cumin seed. After the cumin seed turns brown, add coriander powder and grinded green peas. Now add red chili, garam masala, amchur powder, green chili, ginger, coriander and salt. Fry the mixture for 5 to 6 minutes. The pithi to fill the kachori is ready now.
Dough for the kachori and pithi to fill the kachori are now ready. Put oil in the frying pan and heat it. Take out a small lump (size of lemon) from the dough and shape it like a ball. Roll and flatten the dough into a disk of 1 ½ to 2 inches diameter. Put one small spoon of pithi on the flattened dough and close it with your fingers. Now press it into an oval shape so that the pithi spreads evenly inside it. Now again roll it into a flattened disk of 2 ½ to 3 inches diameter. Like this use all the dough and pithi to make these flattened disks. Now put 3 to 4 of these dough disks in the frying pan and fry them till they turn light brown. Take them out in a plate. Put another lot of flattened dough in the frying pan. Like this fry all the pieces.
The all time favorite Matar Kachori are now ready to serve and eat hot along with potato masala sabji or coriander chutney.
