Prawn Kachori Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and semolina. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a bowl, mix prawns, ginger, garlic, green chilies, cilantro, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Ensure prawns are well coated with spices.

  3. 3

    Shape the Kachoris

    Divide the dough into small balls. Roll out each ball into a small circle. Place a spoonful of the prawn filling in the center and fold the edges over to form a dumpling. Seal it well.

  4. 4

    Fry the Kachoris

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the kachoris in batches until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot with tamarind chutney for dipping.
