i am not a huge fan of kachori recipe, and i most of the time end up having various types of deep fried samosa. perhaps its the stuffing of samosa makes me crave more and more. having said that, i have a special place for pyaz ki kachori recipe, and it is mostly due to its onion based stuffing. generally, the stuffing for kachori made with moong dal, peas or even potatoes makes it a dry snack with very little moisture. but the onion has some moisture and thus making it juicy at the same time flaky and crisp. in addition to it, the chaat recipes made out of onion kachori are more flavoured and tasty compared to others. hence most of the time i end up making this kachori well ahead in advance and can be served as a snack or chaat dish with chutney and sev toppings.
there isn’t anything complicated with the recipe steps, yet some tips and suggestions for flaky pyaz ki kachori recipe. firstly, the kachori recipe is always made with plain flour or maida which in turn results in a crisp and flaky texture. but even wheat flour or atta can also be used as an alternative to make kachoris dough. secondly, deep fry these kachoris in a medium heat oil so that it evenly cooks inside and outside. do not cook on high heat as it would cook only the outer layer and may not cook the inner layer. finally, make sure to make a tight dough by adding very little water in small batches. more moisture means more oil absorbing while deep frying.
