ghee

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

1

Soak mung dal in water for 1 hour and then boil it for 10-15 minutes in an open pot until soft.

Drain the boiled dal and let it cool.

3

Prepare the filling by mixing chopped cilantro, ginger-garlic-green chili paste, and various spices including cumin, coriander, red chili powder, turmeric, asafoetida, and salt in hot oil.

4

Add 500 g of besan to the mixture and roast until it turns brown and aromatic.

5

Combine the boiled mung dal with the roasted besan mixture and mix well.

6

For the dough, mix 1 kg of all-purpose flour with salt, ajwain, and 200 g of vegetable ghee, then add warm water to form a dough.

7

Rest the dough for a while and then divide it into small balls.

8

Flatten each ball and place a spoonful of filling in the center, fold over and seal the edges to shape into kachoris.

9

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the kachoris until golden brown, adjusting the heat to ensure they cook evenly.

10

Remove the kachoris and drain on paper towels.
