Ingredients

  • 2 onion
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp coriander seeds
  • Oil
  • 1/2 tsp saunf
  • Hing
  • 1 chilli
  • 2 cup maida
  • 2 tbsp ghee
  • 1/2 tsp ginger paste
  • 1/4 tsp chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1/4 tsp amchur
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup besan
  • 2 tbsp coriander
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Pyaaz Kachori is the ultimate comfort snack—crispy, golden, and filled with a spicy, tangy onion mix that's totally addictive.
  • To start with the recipe of pyaaz kachori, prepare the filling by heating 3 teaspoons of oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Add 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin seeds, crushed coriander seeds, and fennel seeds, letting them crackle to release their aroma.
  • Sprinkle in a pinch of hing for that classic earthy flavor, then add 1 finely chopped green chili and 1/2 teaspoon of ginger paste.
  • Saut until fragrant, then toss in 2 roughly chopped onions and cook until soft and translucent.
  • Season with ¼ teaspoon each of chili powder, turmeric, amchur (dry mango powder), and sugar, along with 1/2 teaspoon garam masala and salt.
  • Mix well to coat the onions in this spicy, tangy blend.
  • Stir in ¼ cup of besan (gram flour) to bind the filling and add a subtle nuttiness, cooking for another minute.
  • Finish with 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander for freshness and let the filling cool completely.
  • For the dough, mix 2 cups of maida (all-purpose flour), 1 tablespoon of fine rava (semolina), and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
  • Rub in 2 tablespoons of melted ghee until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Gradually add water, kneading into a soft, pliable dough.
  • Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into lemon-sized balls and flatten one into a small disc.
  • Add a tablespoon of the onion filling to the center, then gather the edges to seal it tightly at the top.
  • Flatten gently into a poori-sized disc, ensuring the filling doesn't spill out.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat, testing it by dropping in a small piece of dough—it should sizzle and float.
  • Slide in a kachori and let it rise to the surface, then gently press with a spoon to help it puff.
  • Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, then drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve hot with green chutney or tamarind chutney for an irresistible flavor combo.
  • Whether enjoyed solo with chai or shared at festive gatherings, Pyaaz Kachori is always a mood.
