Cooking steps
  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix semolina and all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt; add water gradually and knead until smooth. Rest the dough for 20 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.

  2. 2

    Divide the dough into equal balls and roll each into a medium-thick disc (about 4 inches wide). Keep discs covered to prevent drying.

  3. 3

    Heat oil over medium-high in a deep pan. Fry each disc one at a time, pressing gently with a slotted spoon to puff up. Cook until golden and crisp, about 60 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    In a medium bowl, mash boiled potatoes lightly. Mix with chickpeas, sprouted moong beans, chopped onions, tomatoes, and half the chaat masala.

  5. 5

    To assemble, break a small opening at the top of each kachori, stuff with potato filling, top with yogurt, drizzle both chutneys, sprinkle with salt, cumin powder, red chili powder, and remaining chaat masala. Finish with sev for an extra crunch. Serve immediately to retain crispiness.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Raj Kachori Breakfast recipe?
The core ingredient is semolina (sooji), which forms the crispy kachori shell. This sets the foundation for layering with potatoes, chickpeas, yogurt, and chutneys, giving Raj Kachori its signature crunchy texture and savory taste.
Q. How do I ensure the kachori shells puff up and stay crisp?
For best results, rest your kneaded dough well and roll the discs evenly. Fry in hot oil over medium-high heat, pressing the discs gently to encourage puffing. Drain thoroughly to keep them crisp—never stack while hot.
Q. What tips can help prevent soggy kachoris after assembling?
Timing is key: assemble kachoris just before serving and avoid overloading with yogurt or chutneys. Layer fillings quickly and serve immediately so the shell stays satisfyingly crisp.
Q. How many calories and what are the nutrition highlights per serving?
Each serving provides about 350 kcal, with approximately 50g carbs (57% of calories), 10g protein (11%), and 12g fat (31%). The dish is mainly a carbohydrate-rich, vegetarian option featuring moderate protein.
