5 green chillies
1" piece ginger, grated (optional)
1/2 tsp. garam masala powder

Make a thick paste of the saved flour mixture, for sealing cracks.
Divide dough into 10
parts, so also the filling. Make a firm ball of each portion of
filling. Shape dough portion in
to round. Press into a 3" wide round, with fingers and palm.
Place one ball of filling in center. Pull over all edges to make
a pouch. Take care not to
leave behind any part of edge. Frim press together, pluck off any
extra dough. Flatten this
round carefully on palm, with side of other palm. A flat, 1/4 inch
thick round,with no leaks,
folds should result.
Heat oil in frying pan, till smoky. Turn off flame, allow to cool
for a minute. Add enough
kachoris to fit comfortably. Switch on flame again, on low, when
sizzling slows. Do not
disturb too often. Flip when one side is golden. Fry other side,
drain, keep aside.
Repeat for all dough and filling. If any cracks of slits appear
on frying, seal by brushing
with batter paste. Fry further till well sealed. Serve hot with
green or tamarind chutneys. .
