How to make Potato Kachori
Potato Kachori Dough:
- Put whole-wheat flour in a bowl. Then add jaggery syrup, caraway, soda and salt to it. Bind the mixture into soft dough, using a little more water. This will make the dough soft. Leave aside.
Potato Kachori Filling:
- Mix all the spices and lemon juice in the mashed potatoes.
- Heat the oil in a wok or deep frying pan.
- Divide the dough into small portions.
- Wet your hands a little and place a small portion (ball) in the palm of your hand and spread it to a diameter of 2-3 inches.
- Place about 1 1/2 tsp of potato mixture in the center of the dough and carefully fold up the edges and completely cover up the filling.
- Press the edges together to seal. Again wet your hand a little and spread the dough on your palm.
- Deep-fry it on medium heat. When it turns a little golden, remove from the heat.
- Drain on a sieve or paper towel. Serve hot.
