Fresh peas demand a gentle pulse in the food processor rather than a complete puree, leaving distinct micro-particles that hold structural integrity. Frozen peas, conversely, carry a higher cell-rupture rate from the freezing process; thaw them fully and squeeze out excess liquid in a clean kitchen towel before seasoning, or the internal steam will rupture the fried crust. Cook the filling mixture in a wide pan over medium-high heat for exactly four minutes to evaporate residual water before stuffing.
Maintaining the frying oil at 350 degrees Fahrenheit prevents the dough from absorbing excess grease while ensuring the raw flour cooks through completely. Lower temperatures result in oil-logged, heavy crusts that sink in the pan. Fry four pieces at a time to prevent the oil temperature from dropping precipitously.
Leftover kachoris store safely in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, though crispness inevitably softens. Re-crisp refrigerated or day-old pastries in a 350-degree oven for eight minutes rather than using a microwave, which toughens the gluten network.
