Oil to deep fry
Method :
1. Wash n soak the urad dal in water for 2 hours.

8. Now heat oil in a deep pan to fry the kachori. Let the oil
heat.
9. Make smallballs of the dough. Press balls, apply 1-2 drops of water on it and stuff it with 1 tea spoon dal mixture. Close it like we do in stuffed prantha.
10.Press the balls with hands so that the stuff settles down inside it. Now roll the stuffed ball into a flat thick disc with the help of roller.
11. Roll it with light hands, else the dal will come out making holes.
12. Now put these rolled discs into the oil and fry on reduced flame until it gets brown in colour. Fry 3-4 kachoris at one time.
