Kachori

  1. Add some salt to plain flour.
  2. Take wheat flour in a wide plate and slowly add water mixing the flour with fingers. Knead into a smooth dough.
  3. Make small balls (size about 2 inch diameter) of dough.
  4. Roll one ball by a rolling pin to a size of about 3 inch diameter roti. Place 2 tsp of masala at the center of the roti. Dampen the edge of the roti allround with water and hold at 4-5 points at its rim, bringing close at the center. Press the points tightly and give a twist so that the masala is sealed inside. This will result into a ball of size 1.5 - 2 inch. Press this ball with your palm gently. See the kachori in photo.

When you put the kachori in oil for frying, keep the folded side downwards. The kachori will never burst during frying and no stuffing will come out and mix in the oil.

Serve kachori with tomato sauce or coriander mint chutney or without anything.

Note: The deep fried kachori is only for those who do not mind eating fat for a change.

There is no need of frying the masala. You will save a lot of fat without sacrificing the taste.

Any leftover kachori can be kept in fridge for a few days. Heat them in an oven before serving.

Preserve unbaked or unfried kachori (i.e. filled kachori) in freezer for a few weeks.
