Khasta actually means "flaky" and this flaky kachori is filled with a delectable moong dal mixture and deep fried. Remember to fry the kachori on a very slow flame so that the crust is crisp and gets cooked on the inside.
A perfect kachori is one that is puffed up and flaky outside but hollow inside. This dish can be stored in air-tight containers for upto a week.
When unexpected guests arrive, warm up the kachoris in a slow oven for about 7 to 10 minutes, fill them with curds and chutneys and serve..
Like most chaats, Kachori chaat combines a variety of textures and tastes, balancing sweetness with spice and tang.
Kachoris can be served plain, with a variety of chutneys, with chole, or with boiled aloo. Serve them as a chat, pouring plain yogurt and chutney on top.
