Urad Dal Kachori | Khasta Urad Dal Kachori

An irresistible crispy, flaky and yummy Khasta Urad Dal Kachori is my all time favorite and these Kachoris are soooo good that you can have it with tamarind chutney/ mint-coriander chutney/ tomato ketchup or just eat it with your cup of hot tea. Best to have it in rainy season or in winters with your garma- garam masala chai. 🙂

You can even make aloo ki sabji to have it with these crispy and flaky Kachoris. Preparing the kachoris takes time so you can make aloo ki sabji in advance.

Recipe:
For Dough
Step 1- In a large bowl add all purpose flour, wheat flour, carom seeds, oil and add water in parts and begin to knead until you get a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a wet cloth and let it rest
 

For Stuffing
Step 2- Soak urad dal for 1-2 hours and wash thoroughly. In a deep pan/ cooker add 2.5 cups of water and add soaked urad dal, turmeric powder, and salt and bring it to a boil
 

discard the frothy layer that came during boiling process and boils until they are soft and tender. Press between your fingers. It should mash up easily
 

Strain the water completely and let it cool a little

Step 3- Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, hing and let them splutter
 

then add coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and amchur. Sauté the spices for 10-15secs
 

Step 4- Add in dal along with the spices and mix well with spatula
 

then add gram flour and fry until the gram flour is cooked. Now the dal mixture will look crumbly. Turn off the flame and let the dal mixture cools completely
 

Preparing Kachoris and frying
Step 5- Divide the dough into small equal portions. Apply some oil on the rolling board and roll the dough like a poori
 

Step 6- Place 1 tbsp of stuffing in the center and close from the edges. Make sure the stuffing doesn’t come out and slightly roll in a poori shape
 

Step 7- Heat oil in a deep pan. Check the oil temperature by adding a tiny piece of dough. Oil should be medium hot. If the piece of dough comes steadily and gradually the oil is perfectly hot for the kachoris. Deep fry the kachoris on medium flame to get crispy and flaky kachoris
When the kachori is brown from the one side turn over and cook the other side until brown and crisp. Turn and cook more if required and remove on a kitchen towel
 

Serve and enjoy this Urad Dal Kachori with tamarind chutney/ mint-coriander chutney and masala chai. 🙂
