Instructions
-
In a pan, dry roast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds on medium heat for 5 minutes, just until fragrant. Let cool and grind with salt into a coarse powder. Set this masala aside.
-
In another pan, heat oil and ghee and add your homemade masala and hing. Roast for a minute and then add your ginger and green chilies. Saute for a minute.
-
Then, add in your onions and saute for 7-8 minutes until translucent and softened. Then, add in bhujiya, besan, red chili powder, kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, amchur powder. Roast on medium heat for 5-6 minutes until everything comes together. Now adjust the salt according to your taste.
-
Now, add in your potatoes, lemon juice, garam masala and cilantro. Stir well to combine and your pyaaz ki kachori filling is ready.
-
To assemble the taquitos, take a roti (chapati), spread a layer of the red garlic chutney and add your masala in a cylindrical shape. Top this with cheese, green onions, and bell peppers. Place a little bit of the flour slurry on the edges to help hold its shape and roll tightly.
-
Brush the taquitos with oil and bake at 350℉/175℃ for 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
-
Your Pyaaz Kachori Taquitos are ready to be served with mango chutney, tamarind chutney, salsa (see my Pico de Gallo Salsa recipe), or any your dip of choice.
