ABOUT Daal Kachoris... RECIPE

A famous variety of snack that is popular all over India, mostly Northern regions. Urad dal is used as a filling in these and i made them a bit more healthy by using wheat flour instead of plain one. Standing time must be given to the dough since it is wheat flour and also they should preferably be fried on a low heat. It takes a little patience from our side but the end result is just awesome. These flaky and crispy little beauties are relished to a large extent on a daily basis by Indians at tea-time. Happy Frying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whole wheat flour 2 cups
Salt 1 tsp
Oil 1 tbsp
Warm Milk 1 cup
FOR THE FILLING ; Blackgram or Urad dal 1 cup

Asafoetida 1/8th tsp
Roasted coriander seeds 1 tbsp

Instructions

Knead a smooth dough out of all the ingredients and set aside for 20 minutes.
Soak dal for 3-4 hours.
Drain and dry roast until light brown without any burnt smell.
Grind all using a dry jar attachment of your grinder to a little coarse powder.
It is ok if whole dal remains here and there.
Add coriander leaves and squeeze some lemon juice on top. Mix well and the filling is all ready to use.
Divide the dough into medium sized balls and roll each into a disc.
Place a generous amount of filling on each and shape into a round kachori bringing all the edges by pleating to the top and securing neatly with a pinch.
Deep fry in hot oil on a low flame until done on both the sides.
Serve hot with dry red chillies chutney or meethi chutney.
