Dear Canadian Desi readers, I am trying to post this TOPIC as a trial for all to post their reciepies in this colomn so that everyone else can take advantage of it. I would like to get the reciepy for the Kasataa Kachori (Not Bedami or Kachori like Poori). I mean the ones you can keep for a few days and is crispy even for days. Thanks everyone in advance for their posts.

Khasta Kachauri
2 cups refined flour 1 cup ghee salt to taste
cold water to mix oil for deep-frying
Filling
3 cup husked black gram-soaked in water for 3-4 hours
2 tbsp oil 1 tsp cumin seeds 1/8 tsp asafetida 3 tsp garam masala
3 tsp chilli powder 2 tbsp powdered fennel seeds 2 tsp coriander powder
salt to taste 1 1 tsp mango powder
METHOD
Grind the lentils coarsely. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and add the cumin seeds and asafetida. When they begin to splutter, add the lentils and the rest of the ingredients, which make up the filling. Sauté over low heat till the mixture is well fried. It will stop sticking to the pan when done. Take mixture off heat and leave to cool.
Mix flour salt and ghee and enough water to make a stiff dough. Make about 20 smooth balls from the dough. Roll them out till 1 cm/ 1 in thick (about 5 cms/2 in diameter). Pinch the edge all around, dampen it and place some filling in the center and bring wet edges together, covering the filling completely. Press together to seal. Press gently in the center. Roll it lightly in a round. Heat the oil in a kadahi. When a piece of dough dropped in oil comes up at once, put in as many kachauris that can fit in; turn over immediately and lower heat to medium.
Fry them till they all turn an even golden in color; reducing the heat from medium to low. Takes about 10 minutes for one side and 7-8 minutes on the other. Remove from oil, drain and place on absorbent paper. Serve hot.

I once made a mistake, but I was wrong about it.
