    Keemay Ki Kachori (Easy and Authentic)

    May 11, 2021 by Sarah Mirza · 6 Comments

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Keemay Ki Kachori is an authentic, savory Eid snack for our family. I'd describe it as ground beef stuffed in special fine flour dough, then deep fried. The dough is Khasta (soft) despite the fact that it's fried. Keema is a very versatile dish, seen in a myriad of recipes; you can eat it on its own with bread, you'll see Keemay Samosas, and, one of my personal favorites, you can savor some delectable Keemay ki Kachoray, just to name a few. This particular recipe calls for four major steps which are: make the ground beef mixture, make the dough, place the ground beef mixture inside the dough, and lastly, fry it. Without further ado, join me as we make this memorable appetizer.

    WHAT IS KEEMAY KI KACHORI?

    Keemay Ki Kachori is a ground beef mixture stuffed into dough then fried. It's a fantastic appetizer for any party or occasion. This Keemay Ki Kachori is very Khasta (soft) because a special kind of flour is used to make them. The recipe is relatively simple and straightforward, and the fruits (or in this case, the Keemay ki Kachori) of your labor will be very well worth it.

    WHAT FLOUR DO I USE? CAN I USE ALL PURPOSE FLOUR?

    Do NOT use all-purpose flour, as this will prevent your dough from maintaining the softness that is essential to the recipe. Instead use Fine Wheat Flour, also known as Maida, and it can be bought from any South Asian store.

    laying out the recipe shot

    HOW DO YOU MAKE KEEMA (GROUND BEEF MIXTURE)?

    • In a pot or pan, on medium heat, add the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds and dry roast them. 
    • Add oil and mix well. 
    • Add ginger garlic paste and mix well.
    • Next add the ground beef and mix well. 
    • Once the ground beef change its color to brown add tumeric powder, garam masala powder, coriander seeds, salt, red chili flakes, and red chili powder and mix well. 
    • Now add water and mix well. 
    • Cover with lid and let it cook for 10-15 min on low or until it's fully cooked. 
    • After the ground beef mixture is fully cooked mixed in cilantro and green pepper and mix well.
    • Set aside.

    HOW TO MAKE THE DOUGH FOR KEEMAY KI KACHORIYAAN?

    In a medium size bowl, add fine wheat flour (maida), baking soda, ajwain, salt, and oil.
    Mix it all together until the flour mixture get crumbly. Now add ⅛-¼ cup water gradually until you formed a solid dough. Press the dough gently and roll it for two minutes. Now apply oil to the whole inside of the bowl and pour some on top of the dough, just few drops will be fine. Next cover the bowl with the lid and set aside for 15 min.

    TIPS FOR MAKING THE AUTHENTIC KACHORIS

    1. Always use fine wheat flour or your dough won't be khasta (soft).
    2. Always deep fry them on medium to low heat or else they will not cook from inside if you fry them on high to medium flame.
    3. Make sure when you are making the dough, it must be crumbly before adding water. Make sure you rub the fine wheat flour and the other ingredients with oil properly.
