Ingredients

For the Kachori Dough:

• 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour

• 2 tbsp Semolina (sooji)

• 2 tbsp Oil

• Salt to taste

• Water (as needed to knead)

For the Spiced Filling:

• ½ cup Yellow Moong Dal (soaked 3–4 hrs, coarsely ground)

• 1 tsp Fennel Seeds (crushed)

• ½ tsp Cumin Seeds

• ½ tsp Ginger Paste

• ½ tsp Red Chilli Powder

• ½ tsp Coriander Powder

Steps to Make the Low Oil Kachori Recipe

1. Prepare the Dough

In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour, semolina, salt, and oil.

Add water gradually and knead into a firm dough. Cover and rest for 15 minutes.

2. Make the Filling

Heat a non-stick pan. Add cumin and fennel seeds.

Add ginger paste and ground moong dal. Cook on low flame until dry.

Mix spices and salt well.

3. Add the Protein Boost

In a small bowl, mix the protein powder with water to form a smooth slurry.

Add it to the filling and cook for 1–2 minutes so the Plant Protein blends evenly without affecting texture.

4. Shape the Kachoris

Divide dough into small balls. Flatten, fill with prepared mixture, and seal carefully.

Flatten gently to form kachoris.

5. Cook with Less Oil

Shallow cook on a non-stick pan or air-fry at 180°C for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
