2. Instructions: Step 1: Dough Preparation To make the dough, combine the flour, cumin seeds, and salt in a large bowl. Add the ghee and rub it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Step 2: Filling Sautéing the Filling Base: Nutralite Doodhshakti Pure Ghee is sourced directly from the Braj and it’s enriched with Vitamin A. Start by heating ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and asafoetida, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. Incorporate ginger, garlic, and besan, cooking for an additional minute until the besan is lightly browned. Flavorful Mixture: Add moong dal, red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and amchur powder. Stir to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes until the filling is heated through. Finally, introduce cilantro and cheesy garlic mayonnaise, stirring to enhance the aroma. Nutralite Mayo Cheesy Garlic is eggless and creamy and its intake of 15 grams in any format, gives 15% RDA of Vitamins A, D2, and E. Step 3: Assembly & Serving Preparing the Dough: Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll out each piece into a 6-inch circle. Filling and Sealing: Place 1/4 cup of the prepared filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling, forming a half-moon shape, and press the edges together to seal. Baking: Arrange the filled kachoris on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they achieve a golden brown color. Serving: Serve the hot kachoris with your favorite chutney or sauce.

3. Tips and Variations: ● For a spicier kachori, add more red chili powder to the filling. ● For a sweeter kachori, add more amchur powder to the filling. ● For a more savory kachori, add more salt to the dough. ● To make the kachoris ahead of time, bake them according to the directions and then let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat them before serving. Bonus Tips: ● To make the dough even more flavorful, add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder. ● For a more crispy kachori, brush the tops of the kachoris with melted ghee before baking. ● To make the kachoris look more festive, brush the tops with egg wash before baking.
