1. Prepare the Dough

Start by mixing flour, ajwain, salt, and ghee. Don't skimp on the ghee-it's the secret to that flaky magic. Knead it well, then let the dough rest.

2. Prep the Filling

Take your moong dal & coarsely grind it. The trick? Don't overdo it. Those slightly chunky lentils bring just the right texture to your kachori filling.

4. The Besan Hack

While cooking the dal mixture, add besan. It's not just a filler-it helps soak up excess moisture. Also, let the filling cool completely before assembling.

5. Stuff It Right

Roll a small portion of dough into a ball, stuff it with the filling, & seal it up like a pro. Gently press it into a disc-this step is oddly satisfying.
