For Sweet Potato Kachori

Ingredients

• 300 g sweet potato

• 50 g water chestnut flour

• saindha salt to taste

• ghee for frying

Stuffing

• 2 tbsp grated coconut

• 2 tbsp popped amaranth (rajgira)

• 2 green chillies

Method

Boil the sweet potatoes and keep aside for 20 minutes for cooling.

In a mixing bowl add grated coconut,  popped amaranth, chopped green chillies and saindha salt.

Mix well and set aside.

Peel and grate the sweet potatoes and transfer to the mixing bowl.

Add water chestnut flour and saindha salt to make a nice firm dough.

Make equal-sized dough balls.

Take one dough ball, flatten it and place the coconut and rajgira pops in the centre. Encase the stuffing by shaping the dough with the help of the palm, giving it the shape of a kachori.

Repeat this technique with the remaining dough balls.

In a frying pan, heat ghee and fry all kachoris till they get a nice golden-brown colour and crispy texture.

Once done, remove and place on a kitchen towel to soak excess oil.
