Tip:
- Do not over crowd the pan while frying. depending on size of the pan add the kachoris.
- To check if the oil is hot, add small piece of dough and check if it sizzles and comes up.
- If you fry in high flame, kachoris will become brown and will not remain crisp.
- You cans tore the filling in refrigerator and use when required to make fresh kachoris.
