Raj Kachori Delicious Raj Kachori Recipe By Manjula S Kitchen

Making the Dough: 

Begin by preparing the dough for the kachori. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour (maida), salt, and oil. Gradually add water while kneading to achieve a firm and pliable consistency. Cover the dough and set it aside for at least 10 minutes to allow it to rest and develop the right texture.

Preparing the Filling: 

The filling is a crucial component that adds a distinct taste to Raj Kachori. Mix gram flour, asafetida, salt, chili flakes, mango powder, and oil in a bowl. This flavorful mixture will be the heart of your kachori, providing a savory and aromatic essence.

Shaping and Filling the Kachori: 

After the dough has rested, knead it briefly and divide it into 12 equal parts. Roll each portion into a 2-inch diameter circle. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the prepared filling into the center of each circle and seal the edges to form a ball. Let these filled kachories sit for a few minutes. Roll each ball into a 3-inch diameter circle, ensuring an even distribution of the filling.

Frying the Kachoris: 

Heat about 1 ½ inches of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into it; it should rise immediately without changing its color. Carefully place the filled kachoris in the pan, ensuring they do not overlap. As the kachoris puff up, turn them over slowly, frying on all sides until they achieve a golden-brown color. This process should take approximately 7 minutes, and it’s crucial to maintain medium heat to ensure the kachoris turn out crispy rather than overly soft.

Preparing Moong Sprouts: 

For an additional layer of flavor and nutrition, cook moong sprouts with a pinch of salt and a few tablespoons of water over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until they become tender. Set aside these sprouts as they will be used as a topping for your kachori.

Serving the Kachoris: 

Once the kachoris are cooked to perfection, it’s time to assemble and serve them. Gently create a small hole in the center of each kachori. Fill the hole with a tablespoon of each of the moong sprouts, mashed potatoes, and yogurt. Drizzle the kachoris with both hari cilantro and tamarind chutneys for a burst of tangy and spicy flavors. For those seeking an extra layer of texture and flavor, consider adding fresh cilantro, green chilies, and a tablespoon of fine Sev as optional toppings.

Tips for Storage: 

For convenience, Raj Kachoris can be prepared in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks. This makes it easy to serve these delightful treats whenever the craving strikes.

Hi Manjula aunty I tried your recipe today. It was very yummyyyyy…everybody liked it very much.thanks for your great recipe I like your style of cooking.These tastes different.But try to mention the spices name in english /hindi or in commonly used terms that helps beter to understand . A mouth watering recipe!!!!! Absolutely delicious, no doubt. I have a request aunty, few days back i bought a kalaungi eggless cookies from patel bros. , they are delicious. I have tried your naan khatai recipe , that’s wonderful too but please give a shot to kalaungi cookie also. I will be very very thankful. hi manjula aunty, I would just like to add one comment about the hari cilantro chutney. I made it four weeks ago as usual, but added one tablespoon of whey ( fresh, strained from homemade yogurt) for one and a half cup of chutney. Left it to rest for a few hours before popping into the fridge. Its been four weeks and the chutney is as good as ever. Do try this-adding fresh whey seems to preserve it naturally. F, you still have chutney left over from four weeks ago? Eek. I can’t think of any reason for how milk whey could possibly act as any kind of a preservative. It’s been a long time since I saw this post..but yes, surprisingly, active live cultures from milk whey will preserve food for a very long time, provided they are strong enough. Have you heard of traditionally fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, or kombucha? All preserved by lactofermentation. Hard cheese which is aged is also preserved by bacteria ( the friendly kind), so there’s nothing eeww about it..far from it, these are probiotic bacteria containing foods that are actually good for you! Hope you tried it, Manjula Aunty! F, Thank you I will try this. Decadent n drool worthy kachori with yummy filling n condiments…I can hv it right away..looks absolute lip smacking.. hello aunty! thank you so much for this recipe! i have been waiting patiently for this. I will be trying this over the weekend as we have some guests coming for a graduation. I was wondering can we substitute something else for sprouts? There will be kids and i’m not sure how thrilled they’ll be with the sprouts. Can you suggest some additional toppings? Thanks! Ruchi, Do the filling of your choice. Hi Ruchi, You can add fresh pomegranate seeds too. Manjulaben Please ignore my previous comment. I just saw your video and now know what to do. I will try out your recipe soon as it looks so delicious!! Mina Hello Manjulaben I love the look of your Raj kachori. I have never made these but would love to try them out. I am a bit confused about the kachori filling. How do you bind the kachori filling? One teaspoon oil would not be enough to bind the besan. Or do you just try add the powdered stuff in the middle of of rolled out puri? Mina hello aunty yes….as always …something yummy waiting on the site.This looks awsome.I wish I can eat right from that white plate.Fantastic….U R GREAT AUNTY…..LOVE U…..Will try soon. Hi aunty….. kachori looks great and vry yummy gonna try vry soon… thank u…:)))))))))))) Wowww.. I love this recipe. looks absolutely inviting.. thanks for the recipe 🙂 Password
