Pyaaz Kachori

🇮🇳 Indian

Jaipur's onion kachori, flaky shell hiding a sweet-hot onion filling. The flavours of an Indian market at dusk, built on a plate. Best consumed within minutes — the crunch is the point.

Prep 22 min Cook 25 min Serves 1 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2, finely sliced
  • Green Chili2
  • Lemon1
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Lay out your stations like a busy stall: one for chopping, one for cooking, one for building.

  2. 2

    Get the base going: crisp what should be crisp, soft what should be soft.

  3. 3

    Layer on the wet elements — chutneys, yogurt, gravies — generously; restraint is for restaurants.

  4. 4

    Season aggressively — street vendors' hands are heavy with masala, and yours should be too.

  5. 5

    Scatter the onion and cilantro, add one more drag of chutney, and put it in front of someone immediately.

Chef's tip

Black salt (kala namak) is the secret edge; seek it out.
