Raj kachori recipe | राज कचौरी घर में कैसे बनाएं

Raj Kachori

Raj Kachori is also called as the king of all kachoris or a king-sized kachori simply because it is the royal, rich and splendid dish. It is a popular chaat snack from North India. This chaat recipe is simple but this recipe covers both preparations of kachori and assembling of chaat ingredients so it takes time.
The texture of Raj Kachori is more like a puri with a crispy surface the traditional texture of puri does not help to fill stuffing on kachori so it would be more crispy and more puff than puri.
I have added boiled potato and sprouted green gram but you can add boiled chickpea, crushed paapdi or boondi. Making raj kachori is quite a time taken so you can also prepare the stuffing a day earlier like make sweet chutney, green chutney or boiled aloo, chickpea or other dal. You can also prepare kachori one day earlier and keep it in an airtight container and it crispness last long for 1-2 days.

Notes

1. You can also make basket /tokri chaat by adding the same ingredient.
2. Also add paapdi chaat or boondi or crumbled Dahi Bhalla.
3. Always use well-beaten curd otherwise curd have lumps and it is not equally pour on kachori.
4. The main part of kachori is puffiness of puri so puri always should puff, otherwise, you cannot fill ingredient as much as you want.
5. Try to fill ingredient immediately after frying kachori to avoid sogginess.
