Khasta Kachori

Khasta Kachori Chaat

 

Khasta Kachori Chaat

Khasta Kachori originated in Rajasthan, India. It is a popular snack in Northern and Central India. This Kachori is stuffed with spicy mixture of yellow moong dal fillings. Khasta means crispy, flaky. You can have it with tea in the morning or in the evening, giving your tea experience a different texture and taste. A perfect Khasta Kachori is one that is puffed up and flaky outside but hollow inside as the filling sticks to the crust. This Khasta Kachori can be stored in air-tight containers for up to a week.

To Make Kachoris

2. Divide the dough into small parts like lemon.
3. Take one part of the dough and with your fingers flatten edges and make circle. Leave center little thicker than edges.
4. Mold the dough ball into a cup and place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center. Pull the edges of the dough to wrap the dal filling. Follow same to make all balls.
5. Let the filled ball sit for three to four minutes before flatten.
6. Set the Kachories on a surface with seams facing up. Using the base of your palm, slowly flatten them like puri.
7. Heat the oil in frying pan over medium heat. To check if oil is ready, put a little piece of dough in the oil. Dough should sizzle and come up very slow.

Khasta Kachori

Tips:

• You should fry Kachories on low heat. If the Kachories are fried on high heat, they will get soft and will not be crispy.
• Don’t roll the Kachories with a rolling pin. Rolling pins can create small holes in the dough that let the oil seep into the Kachories and they can also cause the Kachories to come out with one side thicker than the other.

Sprouted Moong curry is healthy, nutritious and ha Sprouted Moong curry is healthy, nutritious and has an excellent fresh flavor with full of protein. They can be cooked in several ways, I made this in coconut gravy. You just need to soak whole moong bean overnight, then drain it and left it in a warm place with covered cloth, so that they can easily start sprouting. It is a delicious, quick and one pot curry. It can be eaten with roti, steamed rice or paratha.
