Ingredients
10 fresh kachloris (deep fried, unleavened bread) 2 cups oil (for deep frying) 2 cups potatoes, boiled and mashed 1 cup green peas, boiled 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped 1/4 cup tomato, finely chopped 1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped 1/4 cup green chili, finely chopped 2 tsp coriander powder 2 tsp red chili powder 1 tsp garam masala powder Salt, to taste Oil, for shallow frying (as needed)
Instructions
In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Fry kachloris until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and set aside on a paper towel. In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and sauté for 3 minutes or until softened. Add coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, salt, and cook for another 2 minutes. Add boiled potatoes and green peas to the pan, mix well and cook for 5 more minutes on low heat. Stuff the cooked potato mixture into each kachlori, pressing gently to seal the edges. Heat oil in a shallow frying pan and carefully place the stuffed kachloris seam side down. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and set on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
