    Hi Aunty, thank you so much for this satvic blog! After getting married, it has helped me cook many meals for my VERY picky husband.

    I just made these kachoris for the very first time and they tasted awesome and have nice, crispy outer shell. My only problem was closing the kachoris. I had a lot of dough at the closing point. Besides that these were great.

    Thank you!

      Thank You so much Pooja 🙂
      if the kachoris are not puffing up then add a pinch of baking soda in the stuffing,it will surely help.

    @Manasi you can defrost the frozen corn and then keep on a cloth napkin and then pulse in the mixer,you just need a coarse paste,poha is added to make the mixture dry.whole corn will come out while rolling ..

    My.. these are tempting!
    I usually have frozen corn kernels on hand, those do not lend well to pulsing in a mixie, can they be used whole?
