Hare matar ki kachori is a popular recipe in North India. It is a seasonal recipe as the main ingredient of this recipe is green peas (hara matar), which is available mainly in winter. Hence, it is mainly cooked in winters.

Like all other kachori recipe, here also the outer crust is prepared with refined flour, and is deep fried in oil. Thus the fat and carbohydrate content of the recipe is very high.

In Hare Matar ki kachori, the flaky crisp crust is filled with filling of peas. In India, usually families pass their flavours and spices generation to generation. Flavours and spices significantly vary region wise and even family wise. Thus we may get different taste and flavours for same recipe. Kachori falls in same category which has got so many flavours. But untimely all are lip-smacking and can be enjoyed anytime.
