Ingredients

For Dough:

  • 1 cup Maida / All purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Ghee
  • Water

For Stuffing:

  • 1/2 cup Moong dal
  • 1 tsp Fennel seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Red chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp Amchur powder
  • 1/4 tsp Roasted Cumin powder
  • 1/4 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Oil

For Making Kachori:

  • Oil for frying

Instructions

For Dough:

  • In a dish take maida.
  • Add salt and mix well.
  • Add ghee and mix well with maida.
  • Take flour in your hands and rub with palms.
  • Repeat the procedure until the flour becomes crumbly.
  • When the mixture begins to look like bread crumbs, add a little water at a time and knead the dough.
  • The consistency of the dough should be semi stiff, not too thick nor too soft.
  • Transfer the dough into a bowl and cover it.
  • Give it a standing time of about 30 minutes.

For Stuffing:

  • Take moong dal into a pan and dry roast on medium heat until it gets deep golden color for about 8-10 minutes.
  • Stir continuously while roasting.
  • Turn off the heat and transfer the roasted dal into blender pot.
  • Add fennel seeds and let it cool down a little.
  • Grind the mixture into coarse powder.
  • Take out the mixture into a bowl.
  • Add red chili powder, amchur powder, roasted cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and salt.
  • Mix well and add oil.
  • Mix well. Stuffing is already.

For Making Kachori:

  • Take the rested dough and knead once more.
  • Divide the dough into 5 equal size portions.
  • From 1 cup maida you can make 5 regular size kachori.
  • Take one dough ball and keep all other balls covered aside.
  • Flatten the balls into a disc with the help of palm. You also can use rolling pin.
  • Flatten the dough into 3-4” round disc.
  • Add the stuffing in the middle of the disc.
  • Bring the edges together and pinch them as we do for paratha.
  • Seal the edges really good.
  • Again flatten the dough into 3-4 “disc.
  • Keep the ready kachori covered.
  • Heat up oil into a pan.
  • Drop the kachori into oil when it is about to heat up.
  • Deep fry the kachori slowly.
  • After frying for about 2 minutes, it will puff up on its own.
  • After about 4-5 minutes of frying, kachori will begin to sink down in the oil.
  • Flip it over at this point of time.
  • Fry from other side for another 4-5 minutes.
  • Take out of oil, drain excess oil.
  • Transfer kachori into a dish.
  • Kachori is already.

Notes

  • The secret behind the flaky kachori is to drop them into oil when it is about to heat up while deep frying.
  • Deep fry the kachori on low heat.
  • Do not press or push the kachori down while frying. It will puff up on its own.
