urad dal kachori recipe | how to make kachori at home,khasta kachori recipe with detailed photos and video recipe. Kachori is known as kachauri, kachodi and katchuri in many places.Kachoris are very famous in old Delhi and Rajasthan. Kachoris are managed to get popularity even before samosas.
The recipe is basically prepared by filling the fine flour flatten bread with cooked lentils stuffing. India is a country where each region has its own version of the recipe. So, you will get a lot of varieties in kachori filling like urad dal, moong dal,onions etc., however the flatten bread is prepared with the SAME method among the country.
The recipe I am sharing today has a spicy, tangy urad dal filling with a touch of sweetness. Here I first parboil the lentils. The preparation of kachoris required three basic steps.
- Preparing the stuffing
- Making dough
- Finally assembling the kachoris and frying them.
These kachoris are filled with a savory stuffing of urad dal and aromatic Indian spices. This stuffing is also referred to as pithi ka masala.Compared to other kachoris, urad dal kachori has a longer shelf life. This stuffing can be made ahead of time.
before moving further, here are few tips and tricks to follow –
- all the ends should be sealed and squeezed together.
- Even a tiny opening will make the kachoris open up during frying resulting in a mess.
- Oil should not be too hot.
- Kachoris, when added to hot oil should sink to the bottom of the kadahi/pan first and then float right back up.
- The secret to a crispy and flaky kachori – fry it a low flame and it STAYS crispy and crunchy for a longer period of time.
you can serve these kachoris with coriander chutney and imli ki chutney. and at last, here are some of the delicious snack recipes like maru na bhajiya | panipuri with 3 panis | crisp corn kernels | papdi chaat recipe.
