Moong Dal Kachori

🇮🇳 Indian

The kind of plate that disappears before it hits the table. Build it fast, eat it faster. About 35 minutes from fridge to table.

Prep 20 min Cook 15 min Serves 2 Medium

  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Knead a firm dough (or pastry) and rest it 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the filling dry — no moisture, or the pastry weeps — and cool it completely.

    Stuff, shape and fry on a medium flame so the inside cooks through as the outside crisps.

    Serve with meethi and hari chutney; break one open for the steam.

Chef's tip

Chaat is a race against sogginess — assemble at the last second.
