What is Atta Kachori?


Atta kachori is a variation of the traditional kachori. It includes wheat flour rather than the original ingredient, maida. The key wheat khasta kachori ingredients are dough made with whole wheat flour fried to perfection with a spiced moong dal filling. The addition of wheat flour to the recipe adds an air of complexity to the dish, allowing for a denser yet flavourful bite.

Cooking Tips for Atta Kachori

 

Here are some tips to use while making kachori:

 

  • Knead the dough and allow it to rest for a sufficient amount of time. This allows for a better texture profile. 

  • Cook the kachoris thoroughly on medium heat. This will ensure that they are cooked through and not just on the outside. 

  • While it may be enticing to overfill the stuffing, resist the urge to do so. This will help you avoid any unnecessary spills or bursts while frying. 


That said, apart from the standard khasta kachori recipe, there are also other filling variations that you may try. Using this guide on how to prepare kachori as a base, you may recreate several recipes, such as aloo kachori, matar kachori and even a sweet variation like mawa kachori. That is the beauty of chaat. It is easy to make and are little pockets of flavour that you are bound to crave during tea times.
