Mangalorean-stye Kachori (Biscuit Roti)

 

Ingredients:

 

For the outer cover:

 

* 1 cup sooji (semolina)

* 3 tbsp maida (refined wheat flour)

* 1 tbsp oil

* Salt to taste

* Some water

 

For the filling:

 

* 1/2 cup shredded coconut

* Pinch of hing (asafoetida)

* 2 tsp sooji

* 2 tsp besan (gram flour)

* 1/2 tsp mustard

* 1/2 tsp urad dal (black gram)

* 1 sprig curry leaves

* 3 green chillies

* Small piece ginger

* 1 tsp oil

 

Method of preparation:

 

* Soak the sooji in a little water for 15 minutes, till its

absorbs all the water. Add salt, oil and knead in the maida to make it

into a tough ball as hard as you would do for puris.

* For the filling, finely chop green chillies, ginger, curry

leaves. Heat oil in a pan and make a seasoning of mustard, urad dal,

green chillies, curry leaves and hing. Mix together the seasoning,

ginger, coconut, sooji and besan. Adjust salt and mix thoroughly.

* Heat the oil for deep frying the biscuit rotis. Divide the dough

to form smaller balls of ping-pong ball size. Working on one at a

time, roll into small circles.

* Place two tsp of filling and fold the outer cover like you would

for puranpoli or paratha.

* Roll into three or four inch diameter circles. Deep fry till

golden brown on both the sides.
