    • 1 tbsp Rava/ semolina
    • Salt – ¼ tsp
    • Oil – 1&1/2 tbsp
    • Water – ½ cup + 1-2 Tsp
    • Ajwain/ Carom Seeds ¼ Tsp
Stuffing for Kachori
    • Potatoes / Aloo (boiled mashed & grated) – 3
    • Coriander / Cilantro leaves – 2 tbsp, finely chopped
    • Green Chili – 1 finely chopped
    • Ginger – 1 tsp, grated
Spices for Stuffing
    • 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

  1. Boil potatoes in a pressure cooker. Let it cool and then mash or either grate them uniformly.
  2. In a large bowl take flour and semolina, add salt, and oil and mix well with hands.
  3. Knead a soft dough with lukewarm water (like the one for making chapattis). Cover and keep aside for half an hour.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Heat oil in a kadhai for deep frying. Deep fry kachoris on medium flame. Turn while frying till they turn brown on both sides.
  7. 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.
