Makes:
10-12

Preparation Time:
15 mins

Cooking Time:
30 mins

Ingredients:
For the dough
 
 All purpose flour - 2 Cups
 
 Ghee melted - ¼ Cup
 
 Salt - ½ tsp
 
 For the filling
 
 Moong dal - ½ Cup
 
 Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
 
 Asafoetida - ¼ tsp
 
 Ginger - Green Chilli paste - 1 tsp
 
 Chilli Powder - 1 tsp
 
 Garam Masala - 1 tsp
 
 Dried Mango Powder - 1 tbsp
 
 Gram Flour - 2 tbsp
 
 Oil - 3 tbsp
 
 Salt to taste
 
 Oil for deep frying
 

Method:
For the Crust
• Mix all the ingredients using enough Water to make a soft dough. Knead for about 5 mins, cover and keep it aside.

For the filling
• Wash Moong Dal in Water.

• Heat Oil in a pan, add Cumin Seeds, Asafoetida and then drain the Moong Dal and add to this pan. Saute for few seconds.

• Add Ginger-Green Chilli paste, Chilli Powder, Garam Masala, Mango Powder, Gram Flour and Salt. Fry for about 5-7 mins or till the masalas are cooked.

• Let it cool and make even sized rounds and keep aside.

• Now roll out each portion of the dough to about 4" diameter circle.

• Keep one portion of the filling mixture in the centre of the rolled dough, cover the filling by stretching the dough over the filling.

• Seal the ends tightly.

• Now roll this out into 4.5" diameter circle (make sure that the filling doesn't come out)

• Gently press the centre of the Kachoris with your thumb.

• Repeat the method with the remaining dough and the filling.

• Deep fry these Kachoris in hot Oil on low flame till golden brown on both sides.

• These take a long time to get cooked as the crust is thick and needs to be cooked well from inside.

• Let it cool and then store it in an air tight container.

• Just warm them up before serving, top it with some plain Yogurt and Green / Tamarind Chutney!
