Procedure to make PYAZ KI KACHORI (Onion Kachori)

For the dough (outer crust)

  1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and knead or about 5 to 7 minutes into a semi-soft dough with enough water.
  2. Divide the kneaded dough into 12 equal balls and keep covered with a wet muslin cloth.

For the onion filling

  1. Heat oil in a pan. Add nigella seeds, fennel seeds, bay leaves, green chillies and onions and saute till the onions turn light brown.
  2. Add besan, coriander powder, chilli powder, garam masala and salt and saute for about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped coriander and mix. Remove the bay leaves and discard. Allow this mixture to cool completely.
  4. Once the mixture is cool enough, divide it into 12 equal parts.

How to proceed

  1. Roll out each portion of the dough into a 2-2.5 inch diameter circle.
  2. Place one portion of the onion filling in the centre of this dough circle.
  3. Slowly stretch the dough over the filling & seal the ends tightly. Remove excess dough.
  4. Roll each filled portion into a 2.5-3 inch diameter circle. Be cautious as to not spill out the filling due to the rolling pressure. Gently press the centre of the kachori with thumb.
  5. Make 11 more kachoris in a similar manner as explained above by filling the dough sealing the edges & rolling.
  6. Deep fry the kachoris in hot oil over a slow flame till they are golden brown.The kachoris should puff up just like puris, though kachoris may take a longer time to fry than puris due to the thick crust and also because this needs to be cooked on the insides also.
