Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • Using a generous amount of ghee 'Moin' in the dough is mandatory for achieving the most authentic flakiness.
  • Ensuring the kachoris are fried on very low heat for a long duration provides the absolute secret to achieving superior uniform crispness throughout.
  • The addition of a little roasted gram flour to the stuffing prevents moisture and provides the essential binding lift.
  • Always press the center of the kachori slightly before frying to ensure the signature even expansion is maintained.
