  • Along with it add asafoetida and other spice mix.

  • Let cool.

To  make the kachoris :

  • Make 15 balls of the dough and the filling.
  • Take a ball of the dough, roll it into a puri. Keep it thick at the centre and thin at the edges.
  • Take a ball of the mixture, enclose it by sealing the edges.
  • Flatten it by pressing with fingers.
