How to make Pyaaz Kachori Dough

1) Take 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour in a mixing bowl.

2) Add 1/2 tsp carom seeds and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix it well. The carom seeds enhance the taste.

3) Add 1/4 cup refined oil.

Mix it well until you can see that it gets a firm shape and breaks off in hand easily.

4) Add water as required to prepare a soft dough. Keep adding water gradually and not all at once.
We do not have to roll the dough, so we will prepare a soft dough only.

5) Take a tbsp of oil in hand and mix it with the dough.

6) Cover the dough and leave it aside for 20 minutes.

How to make Pyaaz Kachori Stuffing

7) Take the following spices:
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp fennel
1 tbsp kasuri methi
2 tbsp coriander leaves

Grind them together. We don’t require a fine powder just a coarse or rough consistency.

8) Take a pan and add 3 tbsp oil, Let the oil heat slightly.

9) Once the oil is heated, add the coarse spices we made above. Saute them at low heat.

10) Add 1/4 tsp Hing as it will enhance the taste. Mix and cook well.

11) Add 3 tbsp gram flour. Mix it well.
Besan makes the stuffing dry which helps in making the kachori fluffy and won’t make it soggy.

12) Add 4-5 chopped garlic cloves. Mix it well and cook for a few seconds. It will give a nice smell.

13) Add 3-4 chopped onions. Mix it well and cook it at medium to high flame for a minute until the onions become soft.

14) Add 3-4 chopped green chilli.
Now add the following spices:
1 tsp Amchur Powder
1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
1/2 tsp black salt
1 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
salt to taste

Mix everything well and cook for a minute.

15) Add 3 boiled and grated potatoes. Mix well the spices.
It helps to bind the spices together. You can also mash them.

16) Add 1/2 tsp sugar.
It will add a nice taste as it will maintain the taste of onions.

17) Add 2 onion slices. Mix it well and turn off the flame.
It will add a nice texture to the filling. We don’t have to cook it.
Our flavorful and peppery stuffing is ready.

18) Let the stuffing cool off and prepare small balls in the shape of a small lemon.

19) In the same manner, use all the stuffing mixture to prepare the balls.

20) Now take the dough. Apply some oil to your hands and mash it to prepare a soft dough

21) Now prepare balls out of it. The balls should be slightly bigger in size than the stuffing balls we made above.

22) Now, dust the balls with maida and give them a kachori shape.

23) Place the stuffing in between

24) Cover it and flatten it with your palm.

25) Next, roll it with your fingers to make it slightly bigger in size.
We need to spread the sides and the middle should be thick. This will make sure that the Kachori would be fluffy and would not break.

26) Heat oil in a kadhai and add the kachoris for frying on low to medium flame.
Don’t cook on high flame or it will turn red and burn.

27) Flip them once one side gets fried.

28) Fry the kachoris until they turn golden brown.
