In the Besan Kachori preparation we need to prepare stuffing and then dough to hold that stuffing and fry it. To prepare the stuffing heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and asafoetida and sauté. The add gram flour and stir fry. Add coriander powder, red chilly powder, garam masala, mango powder, chopped coriander and salt and stir for sometime. Then add some water so that the mixture is dough like and then cool it.

Take the all purpose flour in a bowl and add salt and nigel seeds to it and mix with oil and prepare a dough out of it. Add necessary water to prepare the dough so that it becomes soft.

Make lemon size balls out of that dough and press them with a rolling pin to make rotis of same size.
