Raj kachori recipe, Chaat recipes

April 25, 2013 by Raks Anand 37 Comments / Jump to Recipe

raj-kachori-recipe

Raj kachori is an Indian chaat made with a large puri, filled with kabuli chana, potato, sprouts, sweetened curd along with other chaat components like sev, green chutney, sweet chutney.

Raj kachori is one of my favourite chaat and order wherever I find it in the menu in restaurants. I have had this 2-3 times and love it a lot.  But now it’s more than 2 yrs since I had it. Somehow I remembered last weekend and thought of trying on my own at home. So finally I made yesterday and had it heartily. And I am disclaiming this recipe may not be the authentic one, but I can assure it turns out to be finger licking good🙂. Vj too loved it when I made it for him.

It’s sure full of calories with all those deep fried stuffs and curd, still, once in a while it’s a treat for you. You can make your guest wonder too by making this for them. You can make the sev, both chutneys a day ahead, even if you want to make (if you have large airtight containers) make the puris too ahead and make your job easier the day when you are preparing. All the chaat recipes have few ingredients to make, but once you make and keep it, you can enjoy these easily. Please refer to the chutney recipes and sev and papdi recipes by following the links in the ingredients table.

Click on the ingredients in bold to take to respective recipes.

    Other recipe ingredient for making raj kachori:

    • Potato – 1 large
    • Kala chana – 1/2 cup brown chickpeas
    • Whole green moong – 1/2 cup
    • Curd – 1 cup
    • Sugar – 1 tsp
    • Papdi* – 6
    • Green chuntey – As needed
    • Sweet chutney – As needed
    • Sev – As needed
    • Coriander leaves chopped – As needed
    • Chaat masala* – As needed
    • Red chilli powder – As needed

    Instructions

    • Soak both channa and green moong overnight and pressure cook separately for 3 whistles. You can cook potato along with this too.
    • In a mixing bowl, mix the flour with semolina, corn flour, salt, oil well and make a tight dough by sprinkling water little by little. Let it set for minimum 1 hr so that it will be easy to roll.
    • After an hour knead well to a smooth dough and divide into equal size balls say 6- depending on how big you want the kachori.
    • Roll into a round circles. Heat oil in a kadai and let it be hot. Drop the puri one by one , it should puff up as shown in the picture. So make sure the oil is hot enough.
    • After it puffs up, lower the flame to maximum low and cook both side to get a golden brown crispy puri. Make all the ingredients ready including the chutneys.
    • At the time of serving, you can break the puri in the middle and fill it with mashed potaotes, channa, moong and a crushed papdi. Add both the chutneys.
    • Beat curd smoothly with little salt and sugar. Top the kachori with generous curd, both chutneys again and sprinkle sev over and garnish with more channa and moong and coriander leaves.
    • You can also sprinkle the chaat masala and red chilli powders as needed.

    Notes

    • The puri should be crisp for this and make sure you fry in low flame to make it crisp.
    • I like mine on sweeter side, so add lots of sweet chutney and add sugar in curd. So adjust the ingredients according to suit your taste.
    • You can use ready made store bought sev and chutneys available in the stores for easy job or pre plan and make the before day and keep.
    • You can also top pomegranate in this. Amchur powder can be sprinkled.

      Yes sure, but please keep it in a airtight container or put it in a cover carefully and keep it refrigerated. If its properly, evenly fried, it will keep good just like a pani puri puri.

      Make the dough tight with less water. While frying, cook in low flame for long time for crispy result.
