Cooking steps
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp ghee, and 0.5 tsp salt. Rub the ghee into the flour and slowly add water to form a soft, pliable dough. Cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin and fennel seeds; let them sizzle for 30 seconds. Stir in chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add coriander powder, turmeric, red chili powder, amchur, and salt to the onions. Cook the filling over low heat until the spices are aromatic and the mixture is almost dry. Let it cool completely.

  4. 4

    Pinch off equal portions of dough and flatten each into a disc. Place a spoonful of spiced onion filling in the center, gather the edges, and pinch to seal. Gently flatten to form thick patties.

  5. 5

    Heat oil in a deep pan to 325°F (medium-low). Fry the kachoris in small batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 7–8 minutes per batch. Drain on a rack and serve hot.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Pyaz Kachori recipe?
The star ingredient is onion, which provides the distinctive sweet and savory filling. Combined with aromatic spices like cumin, fennel, and amchur, onion defines the rich flavor and authentic texture of Pyaz Kachori.
Q. How can I ensure a crispy, flaky kachori crust?
Rubbing ghee into the flour is essential for flakiness. Letting the dough rest helps develop the right texture, and frying at medium-low heat (around 325°F) ensures even crispness without burning or undercooking the shell.
Q. What is the recommended frying temperature and time for Pyaz Kachori?
For best texture, fry kachoris at around 325°F (medium-low) for 7–8 minutes per batch. This steady heat allows the crust to develop deep color and crunch while cooking the inner dough evenly.
