Raw Banana Kachori

Cultural Context

Originating from North India, Kachoris are deep-fried pastries often filled with various ingredients. Raw Banana Kachori is a unique twist, using mashed raw bananas as a filling, which adds a subtle sweetness and moisture. Traditionally enjoyed as a snack during festivals or special occasions, these kachoris are loved for their crispy exterior and flavorful filling. Today, they are popular in many Indian households and can be found at street food stalls, showcasing the creativity of Indian cuisine.

1

Cut the raw bananas into two pieces and steam them in a steamer for 10 minutes until soft.

2

Let the steamed bananas cool down before removing the peel.

3

Grate the cooled bananas into a bowl.

4

In a mixer jar, add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, and 1 teaspoon fennel seeds; grind them coarsely.

5

In a pan, heat 1.5 tablespoons of oil over low heat and add finely chopped 4 green chilies.

6

Add the coarsely ground spice mix to the pan and stir.

7

Add 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder to the pan and mix well to avoid burning the spices.

8

Add 1/2 teaspoon dry ginger powder, 1 teaspoon amchur powder, and 1 tablespoon garam masala to the pan and stir again.

Add the grated bananas to the pan and mix everything well.

10

Add crushed kasuri methi and 1/2 teaspoon sugar to balance the flavor, then mix again.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour, along with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon carom seeds.

13

Add 2 tablespoons of ghee to the flour mixture and mix well until crumbly.

Gradually add water to form a soft dough, using about 200 ml of water, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

15

Divide the stuffing into lemon-sized balls.

16

Take a small portion of dough, flatten it slightly, and place the stuffing in the center.

17

Fold the edges of the dough over the stuffing to seal it, then flatten gently without rolling it out.

18

Heat oil in a pan over low heat for frying.

19

Carefully add the kachoris to the hot oil, ensuring the temperature is low to avoid burning.

20

Fry the kachoris until they puff up and turn light brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

21

Remove the kachoris and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
