Ingredients

Maida – 1 cup

Sattu – ½ cup

Green coriander – finely chopped

Onion – 1 (grated)

Lemon – ½

Garlic – 2 cloves (finely chopped)

Carom seeds – ½ tsp

Green chilly – 1 (finely chopped)

Ginger – 1 inch piece (grated)

Salt – as per taste

Method

Firstly knead the dough. For this add salt as per your taste and 1 tsp oil in the flour so that the kachori comes out very soft. Mix all ingredients nicely with your hands. Now add little water at a time and knead the flour. Make sure the dough it not too lose or too tight.

For making stuffing take a big bowl and add sattu, green coriander powder, carom seeds, garlic, green chilies, onion paste, garlic paste, salt and lemon juice. Add ½ tsp oil into it as oil helps making kachori crunchier and if you want to add more flavor then prefer using mustard oil. Sprinkle some water to bind the stuffing so that it becomes easy to fill in kachori’s. Stuffing is now ready.

Now divide the dough into small equal parts. Take one part and roll it giving it a round shape. Dust the ball with dry flour and roll it into a round circle with 1-2 inch diameter. Place 1 tsp stuffing into it with utter care and seal from all sides nicely making sure the stuffing doesn’t pops out. Flatten it with rolling pin giving a round shape and like wise prepare all kachori’s. Makuni is ready; now fry them.

For this take oil in a pan and place it on flame for heating. When oil gets hot; reduce the flame and gently place the makuni in pan. Fry on low flame until it turns golden brown in color from all sides. Like wise fry all makuni. All kachori’s are ready; take them out in a plate with absorbent paper.

Mouth drooling and delicious sattu ki kachori is ready. Serve with mint chutney or coriander chutney or tomato sauce and enjoy eating this wholesome dish.

Tip Makuni or sattu ki kachori can also be prepared with wheat flour instead of maida.
