Steps

1 hour

1

To begin, soak urad dal in water for at least two hours. Drain well. Grind it coarsely and keep aside.
2

To prepare the dough, take all-purpose flour in a large bowl. Add in salt and mix well.
3

Next, add ghee or clarified butter. Rub it in until you get a breadcrumb consistency.
4

Knead it into a soft dough using water. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
5

To prepare the stuffing, heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan.
6

Add in the dry masalas on low heat - cumin powder, coriander powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder, amchoor powder, fennel powder, dry ginger powder, garam masala powder, salt, and hing. Mix well.
7

Add in the besan and roast until you can smell the aroma.
8

Add in the coarsely ground dal. Mix well. Cook until the moisture dries up. Remove into a bowl to cool. Do not leave it in the pan.
9

Once the dough is well rested, knead it again. Divide it into ten equal portions.
10

Shape them into balls and roll them out a bit. Apply water to the edges. Add in about 2 tbsps of stuffing in the middle. Crimp the edges and gather them in the center for the desired kachori shape. Roll it out a bit again
11

Heat oil for deep frying on low to medium heat. Add in the kachoris knotted side down. Allow them to rise to the top before turning them over.
