Method: 

This kachori recipe is quite simple but requires some patience because good things always come to those who wait. And some hot and delicious kachoris are pretty much worth the wait. So let’s get started.

1. Making the dough

2. Making the stuffing

While your dough is resting, get started with the filling for this kachori recipe. Take moong dal in a bowl, and rinse and soak it in water for about 2 hours. After 2 hours, grind the dal in a food processor till it becomes a coarse mixture. Then, place a pan over medium flame, add ghee and all the spices one by one, and stir it well. Keep the flame on low so the spices don’t end up burning. Next, add the ground dal, salt, asafoetida, and cook it for about 5 minutes on low heat adjusting the taste accordingly.

Now, switch off the flame and let the mixture cool down for about 10 minutes. Grease your hands lightly with oil and start making balls of the mixture and keep them aside.
