Spices:
1. Wash the tuver and lilva tuver and allow to soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Heat one tbls of oil and add in the dry cumin, cloves and cinnamon. Strain the lilva tuver and masoor dall and add them to the oil. Add the salt, sugar, chili powder and ginger paste and stir. Add half a cup of water cover the mixture and allow it to cook until the dall softens. This could take 10 – 12 minutes.
3. Chop the Onions and stir fry them in a tablespoon of oil. Once the onions soften, add them to the cooked kachori filling. Also add some chopped coriander, lemon juice, ground cinnamon and cloves mixture to it and mix well. Allow the mixture to cool.
4. Sieve the dough and add in 1½ tablespoons of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Adding the bit of extra oil to the dough helps to make the outer pastry crisp but nice and flaky too. Using warm water, prepare the dough. The dough should be pliable and not be too firm. Cover and allow the dough to rest for half an hour.
5. Divide the dough into 12 small balls
7. Now take a small amount of dough and roll it out in a small circle. Place the kachori filling in the middle of the circle. Picking the edge of the dough circle, try and join all the edges together to form a ball. Finish making all the kachoris.
8. Fry the Kachori in hot oil. Once you add the kachori to the hot oil, turn the heat down and allow them to cook slowly until nice and golden brown.
