Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Combine maida and salt in a bowl.
- Rub in ghee until mixture is crumbly.
- Gradually add water and knead into a soft, smooth dough.
- Cover and rest for 15–20 minutes.
Resting makes the dough soft and easier to roll.
Step 2: Prepare Roti Ghee
- Mix corn flour and ghee.
- Keep aside to brush on kachoris later for extra crispiness.
Step 3: Cook the Qeema Filling
- Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a pan.
- Sauté ginger-garlic paste until fragrant.
- Add chicken qeema and roast for 2 minutes.
- Add onion and cook until translucent.
- Mix all spices: chili flakes, red chili powder, turmeric, cumin, dry coriander, garam masala, and salt.
- Add soy sauce and chili sauce (optional) and cover.
- Cook until chicken is fully done.
- Stir in cheese at the end.
Step 4: Shape the Kachoris
- Divide dough into small balls.
- Roll into small circles.
- Place a spoonful of qeema filling in the center.
- Seal the edges tightly and roll gently into a slightly flat circle.
- Brush the top with roti ghee mixture for crispiness.
Step 5: Fry the Kachoris
- Heat oil on medium flame in a deep pan.
- Fry stuffed kachoris until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Fry in batches to maintain consistent heat.
Notes
Tips for Perfect Qeema Kachori
- Ensure qeema filling is thick for easier stuffing.
- Rest dough before rolling for soft texture.
