Besan Ki Kachori

Instructions
FOR DOUGH
In a bowl, add maida, sooji, oil and salt. Mix well. Check the moyan by binding

the flour. If it binds, the moyan is perfect; else, add more oil.

Add water in small quantities and make a medium-soft dough.

FOR STUFFING
Roast the besan for 6 to 7 minutes or till it is light brown in colour. Allow it to cool

down completely.

Then, add salt, red chilli powder, dry mint powder, crushed fennel seeds,

asafoetida, and oil. Mix them well. If you want, sprinkle a little water and mix

well. The stuffing is ready now.

FOR KACHORI
Take a small portion of the dough. Roll it like a poori using a rolling pin.

Place the stuffing ball on the dough. Bring the edges of the dough together and

join them at the centre. Roll it slightly. Repeat the process for making the other

kachoris.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a kadai/wok. Fry the kachoris from both sides on a

medium flame until they turn golden brown. Once done, take them out.

Crispy 'Besan Ki Kachori' is ready to be served.

Tips
It should be ensured to cool down the filling of the Kachori; else, it may break

while frying.

If the kachori breaks while frying, prepare refined flour slurry and apply it on the

kachori.

These kachoris can be stored for a month in an airtight container.

If desired, some water may be sprinkled on the stuffing to make it soft.
