EXOTIC TASTY VEGAN KACHORI

Directions

1. STEP 1: Heat the water in a pot or electric kettle to lukewarm.

2. STEP 2: In a bowl, lightly mix the flour, citric acid powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the oil and lightly mix again.

3. STEP 3: Add the lukewarm water and knead well to make thick dough. Cover and keep aside.

4. STEP 4: Heat a pan to dry roast the sesame seeds, ground nuts, and fennel seeds. Then, as they release their aroma and change in color, remove from flame.

5. STEP 5: Ground them to powder form and transfer them to a bowl. Add the dry coconut after grating it finely. Add all the spice powders (garam masala, cinnamon, turmeric, and red chili), sugar, salt, and citric acid. Mix well and keep aside.

6. STEP 6: First, take the dough and divide it into 10-12 medium-sized balls. Take one dough ball and using a finger, make a hollow in the middle of the ball. Fill one spoonful of the spice stuffing in the hollow and close the opening of the dough ball. Repeat the process for rest of the dough balls.

7. STEP 7: Lightly dust the rolling board with flour. Take one stuffed dough ball and slowly roll it out to form a medium-thick flat circle. At the time of rolling, do not apply too much pressure or else the stuffing will come out. Lightly dust a tray and place all the rolled-out dough balls in it separately. Keep in mind not to overlap them. Otherwise, they will stick to one another.

8. STEP 8: Heat oil in a pan on full flame! Once the oil is hot, lower the flame to medium heat. Deep fry the stuffed rolled-out dough balls one at a time. When a little puff is visible and both sides turn light brown in color, remove it from the oil. Repeat the frying process for each kachori.
