Moong Daal Kachori is the favorite snack or street food of North India ,specially popular in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Kachoris are Indian style Fried flaky puff pastries which are stuffed with different type of savory or sweet stuffings.

What is Khasta Kachori

Khasta means crisp and  flaky . These stuffed kachori’s are very crisp and stay like this for a long time. Mostly they are stuffed with soaked and coarsely ground urad ki daal or white lentil but at many places yellow moong daal is also used to stuff khasta kachoris.

  1. Soak Urad or moong daal overnight and then grind it to make semi coarse paste thick paste.In many shops they add besan with the daal mixture to give an easy binding to the stuffing.
  2. The spices are basic i.e- chili powder,coriander powder ,garam masala,salt with the prominent taste of fennel and asafoetida.
  3. The dough is made with either refined flour or a mix of wheat flour and refined flour . Good amount of cooking oil or vegetable ghee is added in the soft dough to make it khasta/ flaky .
  4. After stuffing it is fried on low heat to make it crisp.If you fry it on medium or high heat ten it will not turn crisp or flaky.Then You can easily store these kachori’s for a week
