The “K” Tiffin
Welcome to A to Z of tiffin ideas with me. I am trying to give AtoZ suggestions for lunch box woes and today is Day 11 with letter K. So Let’s pack the K Tiffin
kachori (Alu or peas)
Khakra
Kathi roll
Khandvi
kothimbir Vadi
For Sweet keep Kalakand or any Khoya Barfi and Kiwi in Fruit.
Kachori – Alu or peas
- All purpose flour / Refined flour / Maida – 2 cups
- 1 tbsp Rava/ semolina
- Salt – ¼ tsp
- Oil – 1&1/2 tbsp
- Water – ½ cup + 1-2 Tsp
- Ajwain/ Carom Seeds ¼ Tsp
- Potatoes / Aloo (boiled mashed & grated) – 3
- Coriander / Cilantro leaves – 2 tbsp, finely chopped
- Green Chili – 1 finely chopped
- Ginger – 1 tsp, grated
- Salt – to taste
- Dhaniya/ Coriander powder – 1. 1/2 Tsp
- Saunf / Fennel powder – ½ tsp
- Jeera / Cumin powder – ½ tsp
- Red chili powder – ¼ tsp
- Garam Masala – ¼ tsp
- Kasuri Methi 1 Tsp
- Amchur/ Dry Mango powder – ½ tsp
- A pinch of Hing or Asafoetida
Instructions
- Boil potatoes in a pressure cooker. Let it cool and then mash or either grate them uniformly.
- In a large bowl take flour and semolina, add salt, and oil and mix well with hands.
- Knead a soft dough with lukewarm water (like the one for making chapattis). Cover and keep aside for half an hour.
- Heat oil in a small kadhai (wok). Add cumin seeds in oil. When cumin seeds crackle, add coriander powder, green chili, ginger, salt, and potato. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Make lemon sized balls from the dough. Place one ball on your palm, flatten with fingers. Gently press the center of the kachori with your thumb, add 1 to 1 ½ teaspoon of potato filling and seal the ends in shape of a Kachori. Press between palms. Roll gently with a rolling pin. Make all kachoris in this fashion.
- Heat oil in a kadhai for deep frying. Deep fry kachoris on medium flame. Turn while frying till they turn brown on both sides.
- Place kachoris on a napkin on a plate. Fry all kachoris. Let it cool before you pack in Tiffin
Another option is kothimbir/ coriander wadi. Its a platterful of spices and flavours.

Kothambir Vadai is my hubby’s favorite
Oh wow glad to know. So don’t you like it…
Kathi rolls were a staple in my school tiffin 🙂
Oh wow, even my mom used to fill it with rajma, leftover sabji or aloo matar in my tiffin days.
Its in my fav list, whenever i travel i taste Kachori of different places.
Wow kachori from different places, now that’s I wanna try.
I often pack kathi rolls and poori aalu for my daughter’s tiffin. Shall try others as well.
Great to know you also make similar things.
I eat kachories outside with spicy and tangy chutneys. I prepare kothimbi r vadis at home. Drooling . Eat khandvi regularly.

Oh wow, tangy spicy chutneys. Glad to know you also make kothimbir wadi too.
Now you are talking. Kachori, mouth watering. Love the dish and the way to make it.
Thanks finally you liked the tiffin today.
Not very fond of fried food but i don’t mind indulging in it occasionally. Kachori is nice option while travelling. 😊
Yes kachori is yum food. If not fried you can air-fry it for healthier taste.
Yummy… The dishes you are choosing are so appealing fr kids and elders alike. I have not made khandvi yet.
Ha-ha thanks you liked them. Khandvi is little tricky but worth trying.
kachoriii and khandvii!! yummyyy!!
Thanks
It’s been days I have eaten Kachori. Here we don’t get it often. I will try this at home.
Same here I rarely get them so I try and make at home only for my cravings.
Wah, what an exotic list… All my favourites. Recipe of kachori. Is superb.
Thanks you liked it
