How to make Aloo Kachori:

1. Add whole wheat flour and 1/4 tsp salt in a bowl. Mix and add water in portions to knead a soft smooth dough, keep aside for 15 mins
2. Take a mixing bowl and add grated potato, ginger, green chili, coriander leaves, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, dry mango powder & salt. Mix and make a smooth paste. Stuffing is ready, keep aside
3. Take the dough and divide it into equal sized balls, about 10
4. Take a ball and grease it with a little oil, roll it with a rolling-pin into a circle of about 3 inch diameter. Place around a tbsp of filling in the centre. Bring the edges together and seal it well
5. Now grease it again with a little oil and gently roll to make a kachori of about 3 inch diameter, it should remain intact and no filling should be visible on the outside else it’ll break while frying. TIP: Incase potato filling comes out or becomes visible while rolling then seal that area with a little dough 
6. Meanwhile heat enough oil in a pan or kadai to deep fry the kachoris. When the oil is hot, drop the kachori carefully and deep-fry from both the sides until crisp and golden brown
7. Drain it on a kitchen paper towel, your Aloo Kachori is ready. Similarly do the rest and serve hot with green chutney and plain yogurt.
