News Desk

Chicken Kachori do indeed sound delightful, and making crispy ones at home can be a rewarding endeavor.

Here’s a refined version of the recipe with some additional details and adjustments:

Ingredients:

250g boneless chicken, boiled and shredded

2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)

1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons melted ghee or margarine

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon red chili powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder

Ghee or oil for frying

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken Filling:

In a pot, boil the boneless chicken with turmeric, red chili powder, black pepper powder, and a pinch of salt until fully cooked.

Once cooked, shred the chicken into small fibers using a fork or your hands.

Make the Dough:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the melted ghee or margarine and knead the mixture into a smooth dough.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.

Shape the Kachoris:

1. Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions and roll them into balls.

2. Roll out each ball into a small disc, about 3-4 inches in diameter.

3. Brush some melted ghee or oil on one side of the disc.

4. Fold the disc from all four edges to form a square pocket.

5. Roll out the pocket gently to form a thin roti.

Fill and Seal the Kachoris:

• Place a portion of the cooked chicken filling in the center of the roti.

• Gather the edges of the roti and pinch them together to seal the filling inside, forming a potli or pouch.

• Ensure it’s tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.

Deep Fry the Kachoris:

• Heat ghee or oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai over medium heat.

• Once the oil is hot, carefully slide in the stuffed kachoris, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.

• Remove the fried kachoris using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.

Serve:

Serve the crispy chicken kachoris hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
