Garma Garam Kachori!

Holi ka maahaul tha aur isi bahane bana li humne garma garam kachori.. Pehele itna kahan sochta tha koi ye sab khane se pehele? Now with people becoming health conscious, it has become a novelty. Kabhi kabhi to humare sasural mein din mein teen baar ban jaata tha puri-kachori!

Hamare bauji ko bahaut pasand tha Kachori, to aaj ye recipe unke naam..

Banane ke liye saamaan/ Ingredients:
  • Urad ki dhuli daal -- 3 handfulls
  • Heeng (asafoetida) -- 1 chutki
  • Jeera (khadi)/ cumin seeds -- 1-1/2 tsp
  • Moti Elaichi / Black cardamom -- 2-3 (cheel ke koot lo/ peel and crush them)
  • Aur, thoda sa, Garam Masala -- I dont believe in buying it from outside. Chalo yeh bhi bata dete hain ke hum kaise banate hain ghar pe garam masala..


Garam Masala

Tareeka/ Process:
  • Soak the daal atleast four hours in advance. Wash and drain. Then grind them (in very little water) into a rough paste.

  • Kadhai mein ghee garam kar lo, thoda heeng daalo.
  • Phir daal ke paste ko, roast in low flame till its brown.
  • Uske baad add jeera, saunf ( koi daalta hai, koi nahi), garam masala and salt to taste.
  • Knead the atta moyen laga ke (little bit of ghee) and very little salt.
  • Stuff the urad daal mixture in the dough aur puri ke tarah bel lo aur ghee mein tal ( deep fry) lo.

Aur taazi garam kachori ko aloo ya katthal ki sabzi ke saath khao!
