Why do my kachoris turn out hard?

Usually too little moyan or over-kneading. Rub in enough Anveshan Groundnut Oil and handle the dough gently.

Can I bake them instead?

You can bake at 180°C until golden, but the classic flaky texture comes from slow frying.

Rub 3 tbsp Anveshan Groundnut Oil into the atta with salt (the moyan) and knead a firm dough; rest 20 minutes.

Sauté the onions with crushed fennel-coriander, besan, chilli and salt until dry and fragrant; cool.
3
Roll small discs, place the filling in the centre, seal and gently flatten into kachoris.

Tips for the Best Pyaaz Kachori

✓The moyan (fat rubbed into the flour) is what makes it flaky — don't skimp.
✓Fry on low heat; rushing on high heat leaves the inside doughy.
