Moong Dal ki Kachori

A simple and easy version of a tea-time snack.

Procedure:
Take maida/all-purpose flour(1 cup). Add salt, oil and knead it into a soft dough adding water very little at a time.Once the dough is ready, keep it aside for 15 to 20 minutes.

Take moong dal(1/2 cup) in a container. Mix it well with turmeric, chilly powder, garam masala,coriander powder,salt and little oil .Fry this mixture in a kadai till aroma arises.

Allow it to cool. Then add little water and mix well.
Now knead the dough and then start making soft balls.  Flatten each ball and place 2 tspns of the fried mixture like a stuffing. Now close the stuffed dough and flatten it a bit with the palm.

This then needs to be fried in oil till it puffs up and changes color.

Kachoris are now ready to be served with tamarind chutney or sauce.
