Kachori is a popular Indian street food that’s relished in almost all parts of the country. To have something savoury to pair with your hot cup of chai, you can make Rajasthani-style khasta kachori.
2 cups maida 1/4 cup ghee 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup soaked moong dal 1 tablespoon oil 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds A pinch of asafoetida 1 green chilli 1 teaspoon coriander seeds 1/2 teaspoon fennel powder 1 teaspoon red chilli powder 1/2 teaspoon garam masala 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder Salt to taste Oil for frying
Knead a dough with maida, salt, ghee, and water. Cover it with a damp cloth.
Grind soaked moong dal mix with cumin seeds, asafoetida, green chilli, coriander seeds, and fennel powder.
Add red chilli powder, salt, garam masala, and ginger powder. Cool till aromatic.
Take small portions of the dough, roll them into circles, add a spoonful of filling and seal the edges.
Heat up oil and deep fry the kachoris till they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve the kachori with tamarind chutney and enjoy.
