To Assemble:
1: roll the small balls.
2: spread a tbs of batter over it.
3: Fold over one side to half the rolled-out ball. Apply a little batter again, and fold the other side over it. Then fold from the sides, once from the right and once from the left. Make a small square. Cover and rest for 10 mins.
4: Roll out the little square. Place 1 tbsp filling in the center. Pick up the sides and hold them together lengthwise. Pick up the ends and twist in the middle to clockwise the kachori. Flatten it a bit, coat slightly in flour, and rest covered.
5: Heat oil in a karahi. Check if the oil is hot enough by holding a wooden skewer in the middle. If bubbles form around it, it's hot.
6: Place the kachoris inside and let them cook. The MOST important thing is, the heat must be LOW. When u put the kachoris in, they should just come to rest at the bottom. Once they cook from inside, they will float up. Then turn and fry golden... Drain in a sieve.
