Instructions
- Boil potatoes in a pressure cooker. We will make dough for kachoris by the time potatoes are boiling.
- Sift flour and semolina, add salt, baking powder and oil and mix well with hands.
- Knead soft dough with lukewarm water (like the one for making chapattis). Cover and keep aside for half an hour.
- Peel boiled potatoes and break in small pieces. Heat oil in a small karai (wok). Add cumin seeds in oil. When cumin seeds crackle, add coriander powder, green chili, ginger, salt and potato. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Make lemon sized balls from dough. Place one ball on your palm, flatten with fingers. Gently press the centre of the kachori with your thumb, add 1 to 1 ½ teaspoon of potato filling and seal the ends in shape of a Kachori. Press between palms. Roll gently with a rolling pin. Make all kachoris in this fashion.
- Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying. Deep fry kachoris on medium flame. Turn while frying till they turn brown on both sides.
- Place kachoris on napkin on a plate. Fry all kachoris. Serve hot kachoris with green and sweet chutney.
