I share the perfect ingredient ratio and a few no-fail tips to help you to make perfect kachori on the first attempt. Do try this!
The key to making crispy rava kachori at home are
- Firstly, I would highly recommend using fine rava for this recipe. Other variants of sooji may not be suitable as they may not give the same texture and crispiness. If you have coarse rava at home, grind it slightly to make it finer.
- Adding curd to the kachori dough gives it crispiness and the proper color. You can also use buttermilk instead of curd. The ratio of liquid mixture to rava should be 2:1.
- For the kachori stuffing, I used boiled potatoes and regular spices, but you can also prepare it with matar, moong dal, or onion stuffing.
- Lastly, fry the kachori on medium flame to get it crispy, flaky, and golden brown. Frying it on low flame will result in oil absorption.
