Ingredients:
For the Dough:
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Maida)
- 2 tbsp Semolina (Sooji)
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 cup Ghee
- Salt to taste
- Water as required
- 2 cups Onion (finely chopped)
- 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp Coriander seeds
- 1/2 tsp Fennel seeds
- 1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala Powder
- 1/2 tsp Amchur Powder (Dry Mango Powder)
- 1 tbsp Oil
- Salt to taste
- oil
Instructions:
- To make the dough, mix all-purpose flour, semolina, baking soda, salt, and ghee in a bowl. Rub the mixture with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a smooth and soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- To make the filling, heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
- Add red chili powder, garam masala powder, amchur powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spices are well combined.
- Let the filling cool down to room temperature.
- Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them into small discs with your hands.
- Take a spoonful of filling and place it in the center of the disc. Bring the edges of the disc together to cover the filling and shape it into a ball.
- Flatten the ball gently with your palm to form a kachori.
- Heat oil in a deep pan for frying.
- Once the oil is hot, gently slide the kachoris into the oil and fry on medium heat until they turn golden brown.
- Remove the kachoris with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind chutney.
