Recipe
1
In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, ghee, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water to knead a firm, smooth dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2
In a separate mixing bowl, combine sattu, chopped onions, green chilies, grated ginger, ajwain, mustard oil, lemon juice, salt, and 2 tablespoons of water to create a crumbly yet cohesive filling.
3
Divide the dough into equal small portions and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly and shape it into a cup.
4
Place a spoonful of the sattu filling into the center of the dough cup, bring the edges together, seal tightly, and gently flatten it into a thick disc.
5
Heat oil in a deep kadhai over medium-low heat. Slide in the prepared kachoris and fry them slowly until they turn deep golden brown and crispy.
6
For the chutney, heat a little mustard oil in a pan, add cumin seeds and asafoetida, then toss in the chopped tomatoes, garlic, and salt.
7
Cook the tomatoes until soft and pulpy, then mash them coarsely to form a thick, flavorful chutney.
8
Serve the hot, crispy sattu kachoris immediately alongside the tangy warm tomato chutney.
