In a bowl , add the maida , salt , oil and mix well.

Sprinkle little water at a time and knead into a soft smooth dough.

Cover the dough and let it rest till the filling is made.

Pressure cook the potatoes and peel the skin.

Chop the green chillies , ginger and mint leaves.

Mash the potatoes and add into a bowl.

Add in the chilli powder , coriander powder and garam masala to it.

Add in the required salt , chopped green chillies , ginger and mint leaves.

Mix all together and make into small balls of equal size.

Making of Kachori :

Knead the dough and make into round balls.

Take a dough ball and press with the fingers to flatten it.

Place the potato filling in the center .

Cover on all the sides by bringing the edges to the center and seal tightly.

Flatten again into medium size.

Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

This can also be done by using the rolling pin , but I find making by hand is easy.

Heat the oil and deep fry in medium flame.

When the kachoris become golden brown , take out and serve warm.

Crispy potato kachoris are ready to serve.
