Green Peas Kachori
Introduction
Bengali kachori are slightly different from the crisp, savoury biscuit-style kachori in other regions of India – this version is soft and fluffy, with a simple but delicious pea filling. This recipe comes from Renu, a spectacular cook who helps my aunt in her home in Kolkata – they’re addictively good, and wonderful served with aloo dum and cauliflower chechki. Double-carbing is traditional with this dish.
