Aloo Kachori | North Indian Style

If you belong to a North Indian Family, aloo kachori is a very familiar and loved name. These are easy to make. And they make a delicious breakfast or teatime snacks.

Aloo Kachori (Potato Stuffed Kachori North Indian Style)

Aloo kachori is nothing but stuffed poori that are deep fried. The stuffing of potatoes is spiced with aromatic spices and then stuffed in wheat dough. Then, it's rolled into small circles and fried in hot oil. This is easy to make but needs more tips to make the perfect kachori without breaking in hot oil. These are a little crispy on the exterior and taste soft and fluffy with every bite.

Kids will also love this stuffed kachori. Even my fussy-eating kid is a great fan of these aloo kachoris. Poori and kachori are my family's favorite food, too. So this is a typical dish made very often, especially on weekends, and is a compulsory menu item during celebrations.  

How to prepare aloo kachori?

This is a great breakfast option or tea-time snack. We make it from whole wheat flour, which is healthy for our tummy. Because of potato stuffing, it is also filling.

So, if you are worried about your kid's tiffin box, this is one of the best food items. It also doesn't take much time to prepare. The only thing you need to do is boil potatoes and cool them completely before using them.

You can make the potato mixture at night and freeze it. In the morning, just stuff it in puri and fry it in hot oil.

Potato stuffing can be prepared by mixing mashed potatoes with other spices or sauteing them with spices. Again, you need to cool the mixture completely. Add minced garlic, finely chopped green chilies, and coriander leaves to the stuffing masala.

I used boiled potatoes and added spices to them before stuffing them. My mom doesn't need a rolling pin to make this aloo kachori. She is an expert in making it or rolling it with her palms only.

However, I do use a rolling pin to make circles. Don't make them large, as it may make the layer very thin, and stuffing may come out. When using a rolling pin, don't press it very hard. Roll it with a light hand so that the edges will be intact and not open up with stuffing.

Another important step is making a soft dough. While kneading the kachori dough, use fruit salt or Eno along with curd. I used Eno and hung curd. This makes the layer soft and crispy at the same time. Then, knead it well. Leave it covered for 5 - 10 minutes before starting.

Serve these aloo kachoris with tea as tea-time snacks or with plain curd/raita for breakfast. They taste equally great with raita or green coriander chutney.
