Add water slowly, mix and make a stiff dough.While you are making the dough, add ample oil to the frying pan and get it ready for deep frying the kachoris. Keep the frying pan on low medium heat.The final step is to make the Kachori. Divide the dough in 30 equal parts and roll each into three and half inch size discs.Take the required achari sattu masala and place it in the middle of the disc.Bring the edges together and seal the top by slightly twisting it and pressing against the ball.
