Instructions

Hing er Kachori:

  • Soak Daal overnight (or at least 8 hours) with a pinch of salt and wash thoroughly after that.
  • Grind daal along with chilies, ginger paste, salt and fennel seeds into a smooth paste by using little water.
  • Heat mustard oil in a pan and temper with Hing / asafoetida and add Daal paste and sauté the mixture for around 10 minutes in medium flame till the mixture turns dry and a bit sticky. Remove the stuffing from heat and keep the mixture aside.
  • Take the flour in a big bowl and mix with salt and 1 tablespoon oil properly. Add lukewarm water and knead it for sometimes to make a non-sticky dough. Cover the dough with a wet cloth/cling film and give it 15 minutes of standing time.
  • Knead the dough once again and divide the dough into 20 small balls and keep them aside.
  • Divide the stuffing into 20 equal portions and make small balls.
  • Take one flour ball and roll with the help of your hand and flatten it a bit and then put one stuffing ball in the middle and seal the flour ball by bringing the sides together. Repeat the process with rest of the flour balls.
  • Heat sufficient oil in a big pan for deep frying.
  • Take one stuffed ball and roll out into around 3” disk without puncturing it.
  • Check the oil and fry the kachori till it turns golden brown under medium heat and repeat the process with rest of the kachoris.
  • Best partner of these kachoris is Aloo Cholar Daal er Tarkari.

  • Add 2 cup water and cover the pan with a lid and cook for 10 minutes or so in low flame till potatoes soften.
