Dal Kachori step by step
- In a mixing bowl take 1 cup whole wheat flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt. Then add 3 tablespoons of ghee.
- Rub the fat in the flours with your fingertips and mix very well. You should get a bread crumb like texture in the flour..
- I added 1/4 cup of water make a smooth soft dough. Cover with a moist cloth and keep aside for 20 minutes.
- Rinse a couple of times and then soak 1 cup urad dal in enough water for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. then drain all the water..
- Add the urad dal in a grinder jar without adding no water or adding very less water, grind to a semi-fine or a coarse paste. Do not make a fine paste. I added 3 tablespoons of water while grinding. Keep the paste aside. Remove the paste aside and keep. Scrape off the sides with a spatula or a spoon and it to the bowl containing urad dal paste. The paste is slightly slimy and sticky..
- Heat ½ tablespoon ghee in a pan. Add ½ teaspoon cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Then add 1 teaspoon chopped ginger, 1 teaspoon chopped green chilli. Saute till the raw aroma of ginger goes away. Keep the flame to a low or you can switch off the flame. Add ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon red chilli powder, ½ teaspoon coriander powder and a pinch of asafoetida.
- Mix very well. Then add the urad dal paste. On a low flame first mix and then begin to saute the urad dal paste. You do need to apply some pressure from your hands while mixing. Add salt as per taste. Mix again and with frequent stirring cook the urad dal paste till it thickens and dries a bit. The consistency of the paste should not be liquidy but dry and like a dough. allow the paste to cool. make small balls from the urad dal mixture..
- Check the oil temperature by adding a tiny piece of dough in it. If it comes steadily and gradually on top, the oil is medium hot and ready for the kachoris to be fried..
- Serve urad dal kachori hot with rasedar aloo or dubki wale aloo or with mango pickle..
