Kachori is a stuffed fried snack very popular across India. Crispy, spicy and flavourful kachori with a cup of tea or coffee is awesome. There are different versions of kachori, like hing kachori, moong dal kachori etc. Today I made kachori with a new flavour of cheesy onion. It is really delightful to enjoy.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
In a mixing bowl take together 2 cups of maida or all-purpose flour, salt, kasuri methi, chilli flakes and ghee.
* Step 2
With finger tips, mix together everything well to make a crumbly texture. The mixture, if holds between your palm should hold together.
* Step 3
With chilled or cold water, make a stiff dough. No need to knead the dough much, just knead by adding water until it forms a stiff dough. I used about 1 cup of chilled water to make the dough.
* Step 4
Cover the dough and keep aside for at least 15 minutes.
* Step 5
For the stuffing, first heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Temper 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds along with 1 teaspoon each of mustard seeds and cumin seeds.Also add in asafoetida.
* Step 6
Add in 2 chopped onion and saute for a minute or until translucent.
* Step 7
Then add in chopped ginger-garlic and chopped green chillies.
* Step 8
Cook for 1 or 2 minute more and then add in chilli powder, chat masala and salt.
* Step 9
With a couple spoon of water mix and saute spices for few seconds. Then add in 1 medium boiled and mashed potato.
* Step 10
Mix well and cook for a minute. Then add in cheese of your choice.
* Step 11
Mix and cook until cheese gets melted and everything becomes a sticky homogeneous mixture. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
* Step 12
Take the dough and divide into 10-12 portions.
* Step 13
Take a portion, make a round patty using your fingers or rolling pin. The patty should be thick at the centre and thin at the edges.
* Step 14
Place 1 tablespoon of prepared stuffing at the centre.
* Step 15
Give the kachori shape by putting together the edges at the centre and press to seal the stuffing. Press lightly to make a patty.
* Step 16
Like this make all the kachoris.
* Step 17
Heat sufficient oil in a yok/kadai to fry the kachoris.
* Step 18
When the oil is warm place the 5-6 kachoris at a time and fry in medium low heat.
* Step 19
Flip them carefully in between and fry them until light golden brown.
* Step 20
Serve hot or at room temperature with a cup of tea or coffee.
