Description - Step 1

Prepare The Dough

To start with this khasta kachori recipe, in a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and carom seeds. Rub in the ghee until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. This technique is usually used in regional recipes to create a flaky texture. Gradually add chilled water and knead into a firm dough. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.

Description - Step 2

Cook The Filling

Drain the soaked moong dal. Grind it coarsely in a food processor without adding water. Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin, fennel, coriander seeds, peppercorns and red chillies. Sauté for a few seconds. Add the ground dal and cook for 4-5 minutes. Mix in ginger, green chillies, asafoetida, coriander powder, garam masala and salt. Cook until the mixture is dry. Let it cool.
