Notes

TIPS-
  1. Add salt in the potato stuffing just before making ,else it may become soft.
  2. The dough should be soft and smooth.
  3. Grate or mash the potato nicely,there should not be any lumps in it.
  4. Can fry 2-3 kachoris in a pan but don't over crowd the pan.
  5. Fry on medium to low temperature but not on high heat.
  6. Turn the kachori 2-3 times while frying so it will get even colour and cook properly.
  7. you can also cuse refined flour/ maida instead of wheat flour.
