Instructions
Preparing the Sattu based stuffing:
- Heat some oil in a pan. Temper it with some fennel seeds or Sauf and Heeng.
- Add ginger paste, chopped green chilies into the pan. Saute it for 2-3 minutes on medium flame or until the ginger is cooked properly.
- Now add the sattu and also sprinkle some salt, roasted cumin & coriander powder. You can also add a pinch of garam masala and chat masala.
- Also, add a little turmeric powder to it. Mix all the ingredients well.
- Cook the sattu along with the spices on medium flame until the raw flavor is gone. You will see the sattu color changes to a light brown.
- Keep aside and cool the sattu mixture.
Making the Dough:
- For dough making, take maida or flour in a large mixing bowl. Add a little salt and oil.
- Mix all these nicely.
- Now with the help of water, knead a smooth and soft dough. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Frying the Kachoris:
- Take out some portion of the dough. Roll it on your palm. Make a small hole at the center of the dough ball. Put a little sattu mixture as shown in the image.
- Now try to close the mouth of the dough ball by joining the edges together. Make sure the job is done well so that the stuffing doesn't come out.
- Follow this process and prepare the remaining dough balls.
- After that, take a ball. Grease it with a little oil or maida. Roll it out with a rolling pin very softly and carefully in light hands.
- Roll out the other balls in a similar manner.
- After all the balls are rolled out nicely, heat some oil in a deep frying pan. Here I have shallow fried the kachoris. However, if you want to deep fry it, add some more oil so that the kachoris immersed completely in oil.
- Add one kachori into the heated oil. Fry one side for a minute.
- Flip the other side and fry the same properly. The color will be a nice golden brownish.
- Cook the remaining kachoris similarly. Serve it hot with any side dish of your choice.
