Kadhi kachori is one of my favorite dish from my native place Ajmer Rajasthan. We grew up eating spicy kadi kachori every weekend, so life was missing something here far from home. How can anyone stop me making my childhood favorite items, so here is recipe for favorite kadi kachori.
Ingredients
Dough
2 cups Maida( all purpose flour)
4 tbsp Ghee (thick)
Salt as per taste
Cold water for kneading ( to make soft dough)
Dal filling
200 gram moong dal ( soaked for 4-5 hours )
2 green chills
Spices –
1 tsp red chili, 2 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp amchoor Powder, 1 tsp saunf ( coarse powered) , 1 tsp mint powder salt, 1 tsp garam masala & one pinch asafoetida
1 tsp grated ginger
Kadhi
100 gram gram flour (besan)
400 ml water
Salt as per taste
Spices –
1 tsp red chili, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder & pinch of hing
Lemon & curry leaves
2 green chili’s & Coriander for garnish
Procedure
Kadhi
Take gram flour in a big bowl and add 100 ml water slowly, keep whisking to avoid any lumps. It will form a paste like consistency.
Now take 300 ml luke warm water and add it in gram flour paste and mix properly.
Put all the mixture in a big pan and bring it to boil, keep stirring while it comes to boil.
When it start boiling, slow the flame to low speed.
Let it cook on low flame for half an hour, don’t forget to stir in between few times.
Cook for 10 min and now add salt and tadka. Garnish with coriander leaves.
Consistency should be thick, so if you feel it’s thick add more water.
Take two tbsp oil in a small pan and heat it. Add hing, rai, jeera & kari leaves and put off the flame.
Now add red chili powder and keep it on one side.
Add one lemon to your boiling gram flour kadi and keep stirring.
Filling
For filling take soaked moong dal and blend it coarsely with green chili and ginger.
Now take two Tbsp oil/ghee in a pan and add asafoetida (hing) .
Add coarsely blend Dal and cook it on low flame, keep it steering continuously as it can stick to pan if left unattended.
Add all spices and keep stirring. Now keep it aside and let it cool.
Kachori
First make your dough, take flour in a bowl, add salt and ghee.
Now mix properly and knead it with adding cold water slowly.
Make a soft Dough not a tight one.
Keep it for rest, meanwhile get your filling and kadi ready.
Make small balls out of dough and keep in covered. Take one ball and roll into small puri size.
Take it in your hand in the way shown in picture. Now add two spoon filling to it and close slowly with the help of fingers, check picture for reference.
After closing, press gently with side of palm and flatten it (Check picture for reference).
Heat oil in kadai for frying.
To check if the oil is hot, put a small ball of dough in it.
If it comes up instantly means oil is ready. Now put your flame on medium and add kachori slowly.
Two or three at a time as per size of your kadai. After five ten minutes, flip the kachori and low your gas flame. Cooking on low to medium will ensure proper frying.
Let it cook till golden brown and then take out. Crispy kachori are ready to serve with hot kadi and green chatni.
This looks and am sure tastes yummy. Please do share the video of how the kachoris came out so crusty.
My mom loves having kadhi kachori a lot. She never misses a chance to enjoy this recipe. I would share your recipe with her as well.
This looks so interesting actually. I am going to try this out, I am missing out on all street food and fast food in last few months! this looks yum.
You made me drool Neha, this indeed is my all time favorite dish.
Was not confident of making it myself but now I will
This is a mouth watering post what do I say I really love please flaky stuffed crispy kachori to the core having it with spicy tangy gravy is heavenly combination the recipe is very easy almost similar to what we make in our home so next time I am making kachori kadhi is going to be along with it
Wow.. it looks yummy . I was not aware of this combination. Even I have never made kachori at home . Thanks for the recipe.
In Delhi we eat these dal kachories with thick potato gravy sabzi and it tastes super amazing, never heard of eating it with Kadi, but it looks tempting and like worth a try, will definitely gonna try it your way
Amazing how every area has a speciality that we don’t usually see. Kadhi kachori is new for me and I’m curious to know how the combination tastes. Will try this soon.
My mouth is watering while reading this recipe. I just love kachori but I have never tried it with kadhi, we usually eat it with chutney or aloo gravy. This recipe is worth trying!
We love eating kachoris, but have never had it with kadhi nor made it at home. would love to make it ourselves 🙂
I love kadhi and relish kachori but never tried the two together. This combination is new and very much tempting for me. Will try soon.
Thanks
Kadhi Kachori is new for me but I think it’s a great combo. I love both of them separately. Will try this recipe out.
Yea you must try this combination it’s awesome
Here in UP we eat kachori and aaloo ki sabzi. And kachori is known as khasta. The Kadhi kachori is new to me. Sounds delicious combo. Love to try
Yea I liked that too as it’s my nanihal..kadi kachori is different from that you must try it
Kadhi Kachori is a classic combination thanks for giving your version of this recipe. Moong dal kachori I am sure gonna try soon.
Yup it’s really nice combination, you would surely like it
My in-laws are from Rajasthan and I am a Mumbai-chi mulgi….I had never heard of Kachori-Kadhi before marriage. Now, I have pleasant memories associated with this dish. Especially the typical large family gatherings where “noone can eat just one” is the norm. Thank you for this wonderful post.
Ha ha that’s my memories too from childhood..it’s a treat for all family and guests. No one can miss kadi kachori party
I think I have tasted this in one of the thali restaurants. We don’t make this at home but I’m sure you got all nostalgic when you made and served this to the family.
Yup everytime we make it at home it’s a party time
I am from Kota so kachoris are my favourite but I never tried this Dahi kachori combination. Thank for the recipe. These pics are tempting me. Surely try.
Yea it’s mainly from Ajmer..do try this combination it’s awesome
My husband loves Kadhi Kachori though I am not a fan, so we have never made this combination at home. Love the detailed step by step recipe. The Kachoris look so khasta, so want to have one now 🙂
Do try it out you would surely like this combination
Wow this is looking so tempting. Kachori is also a famous food in my native place (Indore) and it taste so delicious. Thanks for sharing detail recipe. Though combination with kadhi was new to me.
Yea Indore kachoris are really nice …this one is from Ajmer Rajasthan …do try this combination
I never had this combo, but both are my fav…I will sure try this once, it looks so tempting and yummy!!
Kadi and kachori looks an awesome combination. Shall try making it as I love kachori a lot. Your Kachoris are perfectly brown in color.
I have tasted both, Kachori and Kadhi individually , but heard of this combination for the first time ever! They both look so delicious and the recipes seem like no fuss ones. Want to try out the Kachori as it made me salivate.
I have made kachories many a times but with kadi sounds interesting. Will definitely try as all the pictures looks really tempting.
I make Mooong Daal kachori exactly the same way. Using cold water is must in this process. You made me remember my to-do list. I haven’t made kachori for a long time.
I was drooling through out your post. I have tried samosa a couple of time but not kachori. will try your recipe for sure.
Then I would say do try these yummy khasta kachori
