Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup semolina (sooji)
- 1/2 cup mawa (khoya)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, raisins)
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)
- Water as needed to make dough
- Oil for frying
Method
- In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour and semolina. Add ghee and rub between your palms to make a crumbly mixture.
- Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In another pan, heat ghee and add mawa. Cook until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.
- Add sugar, cardamom powder, and chopped nuts to the cooked mawa. Mix well and let it cool.
- Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a small disc and place a spoonful of the mawa filling in the center.
- Seal the edges to form a ball again and flatten slightly. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan and fry the kachoris on medium heat until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels and let cool before serving. Enjoy your sweet treat!
