Assemble and Roll the Kochuris
Fry the Kochuris
For a more wholesome version, you can make the dough using a mix of 1 cup maida and 1 cup whole wheat flour (atta).
Add 1/4 teaspoon of roasted cumin powder (bhaja jeera'r guro) and a pinch of garam masala to the stuffing for a warmer, spicier flavor.
For a low-oil alternative, brush the rolled kochuris with a little oil and air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Note that they will be less puffy and have a different texture than the deep-fried version.

A single Koraishutir Kochuri contains approximately 150-180 calories, depending on its size and the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
This usually happens for three reasons: 1) The stuffing was too moist. 2) The dough was not sealed properly around the stuffing. 3) The kochuri was rolled too thin or with uneven pressure, causing the stuffing to tear through the dough.
Yes, absolutely. Just make sure to thaw the frozen peas completely and pat them thoroughly dry with a paper towel before grinding them. This removes excess moisture, which is crucial for a good stuffing.
Yes. You can prepare the dough and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The stuffing can also be made ahead and refrigerated for 2-3 days. Bring both to room temperature before assembling and frying.
Traditionally, Koraishutir Kochuri is served with a slightly spicy potato curry called 'Aloo'r Dom' or a sweet and savory lentil dish called 'Cholar Dal'. A simple pickle or chutney also pairs well.
