Here are some more important Tips which may be need to make this yummy recipe.

1) Spinach should be squeezed properly. if Spinach has water then koftas won't make good. and you have to add binding agent that will be koftas make hard. (I have experienced of this fault )

2) Don't cook koftas in curry, since koftas are very soft so they can be break while cooking.

3) Adjust spices a s per taste.

Instant Khasta Kachori

 

Khasta kachori is a delicious and spicy fried puffed pastry.

I am presenting an instant recipe so you don't need to wait overnight in getting dal soaked and spend lot of time in grinding it in Mixer.

It is a very simple and quick recipe with tips and tricks so that kachoris can come out very puffed and delicious.



Kachoris are consumed in variety of ways in different parts of the country. Most people prefer it as chaat while some people prefer it with Spicy Potato curry.

 

 

Ingredients for Kachori Dough:-

2 Cup  Maida / All purpose flour

1/2 cup Oil or ghee + 11/2 tbsp for greasing

1 tsp salt

about 3/4 cup water (cold water) 

Oil for deep frying for kachoris
 

Ingredients for Stuffing:

For Dal 

 1 1/2 cup Moong dal
 1/4 tsp salt
 3/4 cup water

Spices

2 tbsp oil

1/2 tsp cumin seeds(jeera)

     1/4 tsp Asafoetida(hing)

     1 tbsp green chili and ginger paste

     1 tsp Coriander powder
     1/2 tsp red chilly powder
     1/2 tsp garam masala 
     1/2 tsp salt

     1/2 tsp coarsely fennel powder (Sauf)

     1 tsp dry mango powder (amchoor) 
     1/4 cup water
  


  

Method:

Use Water to wash Moong daal (lentils). We are using Moong daal since it is a healthier alternative but you can use Urad dal as well, if you prefer that.

Cook Moong Daal in a pressure cooker along with 1/4 tsp salt and 3/4 cup water .Keep the gas on Medium-low heat for around 5 mins. Make sure you turn off the gas before you get a whistle from traditional pressure cooker.

Daal should be cooked right in a way that it does not get dissolved in the cooker.
(TIP 1:- We don't need to complete whistle, since we need cooked dal but not dissolved dal)

Once daal is ready, you can open the cooked to make sure that it is cooked right and have not got dissolved.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and hing. When cumin seeds start cracking, then add green chili and ginger paste.

Add all spices except mango powder.

Mix well. Add 2 tbsp of water in the mixture and mix well and Stir for a minute. Once you get the right color of all the spices, add cooked dal into spices and mix it well. Add 1/4 cup water and salt. 
Cook it for 2-3 minutes on medium-low heat.
Add mango powder and stir it for one more minute.

(You can adjust the spices as per your taste)

(TIP 2:- you can use masher if you want to mash dal more).
( TIP 3: If you think the dal mixture is very hard then add one or 2 tablespoons of  water and mix it well )

Cooked it for few seconds more.
and turn the gas off.



TIP 4:  Let the mixture little cool down (It should be warm so we can easily make ladoos)

      .
Dal is ready.

To make Kachori dough:

Take a Bowl, add flour and salt, mix it well. Add some oil and mix together until all oil get consumed into the flour.(Dough consistency should be like bread crumbs and we should able to bind the dough as you can see in picture).
 
Add cold water (TIP 5: Iced) gradually and knead into the soft dough. (Dough should not be sticky)
Knead the dough at least 3-4 minutes. Grease your hand with oil and knead it for few seconds more.

TIP 6: Set aside and cover with wet clothes or wet towel paper.
Keep it aside for 15 minutes.

                        Now Make ladoo of the dal mixture.

Take small portion of dal mixture and take it into the palm and roll it to make Ladoos.

let's prepare kachodi.

To make the Kachoris:


TIP 7: Heat oil on  medium gas/heat.

     Grease your palm with oil and knead the dough again 2-3 minutes and divide into equal parts. 

 

      Stuff Dal mixture in to dough. Pull the edges of the ball to wrap the dal ladoo.and make smooth ball and press between palms to give it a shape of kachori.
     
     TIP 8: For making Kachoris, it is very important that you do not use rolling pin instead you should use your hands , so the kachoris will not get broken and dal will not come out while frying

Your Kachoris are ready to go in to oil.

   Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat. 

    TIP 10: To check if oil is ready put a little piece of dough in the oil, it should sizzle and come up slow. 

Now  Put 5-6 Kachodis in a pan, depending on the size of pan.
 Fry them on medium gas. After they start to puff, slowly turn them over.
Then when they cooked from other side then turn it .
  Fry until golden-brown on both sides.
(Don't turn again and again, otherwise kachoris can be broken)

( TIP 11: Kachoris should not be fried on high heat otherwise they will not be crispy.)

Kachodis are ready take it out on towel paper.

Serve as a chaat

Make the hole from the middle and add yogurt/curd, green chuteny and sweet chutney. Add sone jeera powder, black salt and some sev for garnishing.

(if you have some boiled potao or boiled chickpeas(chole) , you can use it )

enjoy

Kachoris are ready to serve. Enjoy and let me know how it turn out for you, thanks for watching.
