Aam Khasta Kachori

Ingredients

For the dough
2 cups maida (white flour)
2 tbsp oil
salt to taste

For the stuffing

½ cup moong dal, soaked for 2 hours
1 tbsp coriander, finely chopped
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp fennel powder
¼ tsp red chilli powder
1 pinch asafoetida
½ tsp ginger powder
salt as per taste
¼ tsp garam masala
½ tsp cumin seeds

For the garnish

1 tbsp roasted moong dal
1 cup mango ripe (cut into cubes)
1 tbsp green chutney
1 tbsp sweet mango chutney

Method

For the dough

1. Take the white flour in a big bowl. Add salt and oil and mix it well.
2. Now add little water and knead soft dough (same as required for making chapatti). Don’t knead the dough too much.
3. Cover the dough and keep it aside for 15-20 minutes to set. Meanwhile prepare the stuffing.

For the stuffing

1. Coarsely ground the soaked moong dal. Pre-heat pan and add 3-4 tbsp oil in it.
2. When oil is sufficiently hot, add cumin seeds and saute. Then add asafoetida, green chilli, coriander powder, fennel powder and saute the spices for a few minutes.
3. Add grounded dal, salt, garam masala, ginger powder and red chilli powder. Mix all ingredients well.
4. Stir constantly and cook the dal until it dries up and a nice aroma comes out (if the dal sticks to the bottom of the pan, then add some more oil to it). Take out the roasted dal in a bowl to cool it quickly.
5. Once the dough is set, take a little dough (equal to size of lemon) and shape it like a ball. Take one dough ball and flatten it with your fingers giving it a shape like bowl. Now fill this bowl with 1 tsp stuffing and lift from all sides for sealing the stuffing. Likewise prepare all the kachoris.

For the frying

1. Pre-heat the oil to medium-hot in a wok for frying the kachori. Now gently place the kachoris in the oil for frying.
2. Flip the side when the kachori turns puffy. Keep frying until they turn golden brown, keeping the flame medium-low, to get crunchy and crusty kachoris. Similarly fry the other kachoris too.
3. For serving, place the kachori on a plate. Garnish it with roasted moong dal, mango cube, sev, coriander chutney and sweet mango chutney. Serve
