Kachourie: Trinidad Street Food | Taste of Trini

Kachourie is a popular street food in Trinidad and Tobago. It is channa or chick pea based and very similar to the Middle Eastern Falafel. This is a great vegetarian appetizer to prepare this Divali. Here's what you'll need:
A heavy duty blender or food processor
1 cup of dry channa/chick peas, soaked in water overnight
1 cup of dhal/split peas, soaked in water overnight
salt
3/4 cup of flour (or 1/2 cup of cornstarch)
2 tsps baking powder
1 tsp ground coriander
2 heads of garlic
10-15 leaves of bandhania/shadon beni/culantro
1 hot pepper
bunch of cilantro
oil to fry
Serve with Tamarind Chutney • Sweet and Savory Tamar... or Tzatziki sauce.

I never heard about this before. I think when I lived in Woodbrook decades ago, we did not have many Indian shops around to experience a lot of these snacks. I think things might be different now, I will try the recipe one day.

[@shac4229]

Thanks for this fusion recipe. I like that you used the split peas because I'm not a fan of garbanzo beans and so I usually don't falafel. But I think I would definitely try and eat these.

[@TasteofTrini]

Sha C You're welcome. I hope you try the recipe, with all the seasonings, you won't even know there's chick peas in there ☺☺

[@Spyninjasarethebest]

Asha Bhagwandine Thank you!

[@Abbystarrrrr]

I grew up with my mom making this just using the split peas not channa and it was on of my favorite things to eat I will attempt this tmr using a combination of both channa and peas and I will use my grated mango chutney if I could find a good mango lol

[@annamaraj3044]

I just had some kachorie last week so good with mango chutney!!mmm

[@TasteofTrini]

Anna Maraj Nice! Yummy!

[@cagelsthrough]

I love kachourie

[@shereenrashina]

This recipe is perfect.

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you!

[@ansil3]

that crunch at the end made me hungry :)

[@TasteofTrini]

Lol :) It was extremely crunchy

[@karimababoolal1801]

Where can I buy the type of blender you have to chop the daal and channa to make the kachori?

[@lisaford3735]

Can I bake instead? If so what temp and how long to you reccomend? I have an air fryer, Not sure if you use one or not, but would love to try in the air fryer as well.

[@TreatFactory]

Great recipe :)

[@TasteofTrini]

Treat Factory Thank you☺

[@veshmahlalwah334]

i love this i make the same way minus the spice and add some cumin. i split the mixture in half and add some finely chopped dasheen bush leaves and make saheena too. its soo crunchy. great snack.

[@TasteofTrini]

Veshmah Lalwah Okay, sounds great! I have to try it!

[@ravibhagan8563]

great recipe but I sometimes omit the baking powder and bake it and assemble it as a vege burger with all the trimmings its very tasty

[@TasteofTrini]

Ravi Bhagan Nice! I've baked it before and found it to be quite dry. I'll try it again and see. Thanks for watching!

[@joyceali5958]

Katchori was always made with dhal.

[@user-ol8ry3jn2n]

Do you put yeast?

[@brendamaharaj7937]

Hey reshmi felicity is watching i put a little tumeric whole grain geera and some chopped curry leaves

[@mariasuraj2654]

Hey can you do a video for samosas please :)

[@TasteofTrini]

Okay, will try my best :)

[@melvinhamilton670]

Could you make some trini rum drink recipes. The real strong ones thank you.

[@TasteofTrini]

melvin hamilton Lol will do

[@esampson2369]

Hello. After you add the flour mixture to the channa/dhal mixture, don't you have to add some water to hold the dough together? Or is that not necessary?

[@natashakhan6511]

I've got three words for u : yummy yummy yummy🙂

[@TasteofTrini]

Natasha Dhanpat Yes it definitely was!

[@sweettrinilife2095]

That can also be use as a veggie buger Pattie

[@chrisram9424]

can i use the dahl mill to grind the channa & dahl

[@TasteofTrini]

Yes you can but it won't come out crispy like this, it will be fine like dhalpuri filling.

[@chrisram9424]

ok thanks

[@joycelynramoutar9883]

how to make doub es

[@shivasookram7857]

Can u add yeats to d mixture?

[@TasteofTrini]

Yes you can.

[@lindaseenath6411]

Just asking you dont boil it

[@aleemasalim4397]

Do we necessarily need to leave the Channa and dhal in water over night

[@TasteofTrini]

You can leave it for a few hours. When it soaks in water, it gets tender enough to be ground into a chunky paste.

[@linbasdeo6108]

how much salt?

[@TasteofTrini]

Lin Basdeo I usually taste the mixture and add salt accordingly

[@daandesmond7427]

Yu food looke sweet gujaal Nice job😂😂😂😄😄😅😅🤗🤗🤗

[@TasteofTrini]

Daan Desmond Thanks!

[@joycelynramoutar9883]

chickening

[@Ssssssoto]

Can they be baked, instead of fried?

[@TasteofTrini]

Saby Soto Yes they can be baked. In my opinion, it gets a little dry, that's the only downside. Once you have a good dipping sauce you should be fine

[@Ssssssoto]

Taste of Trini - Thank You xo

[@lillyandrews8557]

isn't dis usually stuffed with doubles fixings,channa etc

[@TasteofTrini]

Lilly andrews Yes it is. It is usually more flour based when you buy it, so it is easier to cut open and stuff with channa or chutney

[@karminiparsan9256]

no saffron powder?

[@TasteofTrini]

Karmini Parsan nope I don't add any. You can if you'd like

[@bobbysingh1806]

Karmini Parsan

[@ranivonwurttemberg7174]

Thanks for using the dried peas which needs to be soaked. This makes the real stuff and not those powdered stuff

[@sanjayjainarine7921]

Almost has the texture of falafel, but cooked little more longer as it should. Wouldn't be almost as bahara an polurie
