Leftovers…it’s a always question that how to use the leftovers as that they are not wasted and still can be eaten with little variation done to the original product.
In Indian household dal is one of the basic part of meal and somehow it always remains in the stock of leftovers. Yesterday I too had leftover dal from the lunch and somehow I did not want to convert it into same old dal fry. so after scratching the head for few mins I came up with the idea of making kachoris.and yes I didn’t have to take much effort as I was not planning for a delicacy but making it out of whatever resources I had.
Ingredients:
Leftover dal
1 onion finely chopped
Aamchur powder 2tspn
1 or 2Green chilies finely chopped
Salt and red chilly powder according to taste.
Whole-wheat(atta) dough
Oil to shallow fry or deep fry
Method:
1) Take a pan and add the aamchur powder, onion, green chillies, red chili powder and salt to left over dal and keep it on slow flame so that it converts into thick paste. Stir time to time to avoid sticking to the bottom of pan.
2) You can make the thick dough from whole wheat or flour whatever you prefer by mixing water to .as I said that I made it with resources available, I had some dough in refrigerator and I used the same.
3) Divide the dough into small balls preferably into small size than a ping pong ball.
4) Now fill the dal mixture it these ball and press them to make round and flat kachoris.
5) I shallow fried the kachories on anon stick tava till crispy and golden brown on both the sides. The flame of stove should be kept low to bring the crispness. If you are not worried about the calories then deep fry them till golden brown.
6) Serve hot with ketchup or corander chutney.
Thus enjoy the leftover with a little variation.My hubby dear really enjoyed the evening snack after the tiring day at office. He especially liked the filling. So try it and let me know your comments..
