Directions: Wheat Flour - Khasta Kachori. Recipe

STEP 1.How To Make Kachori Dough
STEP 2.Mix the flour, salt and oil in a mixing bowl. Combine the mixture using your fingers to get the bread crumbs like consistency.
STEP 3.Add the chilled water one tablespoon at a time, and start binding the dough. Add water in small portions.
STEP 4.Once the dough comes together, knead it for 5 minutes. The dough should be soft yet firm to touch. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth and let it sit for at least fifteen minutes.
STEP 5.How To Make Kachori Filling
STEP 6.Meanwhile, prepare the filling for kachori. Add namkeen to a food processor or mixer. Add all the remaining ingredients (spices, salt, and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil) to the mixer. Blend to a coarse powder.
STEP 7.Transfer to a bowl. We require a crunchy mixture and not a fine powder for the filling.
STEP 8.How To Shape Kachori
STEP 9.To shape the kachoris, divide the dough into ten lemon-sized balls. Take one part of the dough and with your fingers flatten the edges and make into 3-inch circle just like a small poori. Leaving center little thicker then edges.
STEP 10.Place 1 ½ teaspoon of filling in the center. Pull the edges of the dough all the edges and join them all together at one place like a dim sum. Flatten the kachori gently with the pressure of your palm. Each kachori is 2 – 2 ½ inches wide. DO NOT use a rolling pin.
STEP 11.How To Fry Kachori
STEP 12.Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if oil is ready put a little piece of dough in the oil. The dough should sizzle, and come on the surface immediately rather than sitting at the bottom of the pan.
STEP 13.Fry Kachori in small batches on medium-low heat. After they start to puff, slowly turn them over. Fry until golden-brown on both sides. Flip them regularly to get even cooking and color.
STEP 14.Serve Khasta Kachori with sweet chutney
