How to make Kolkata Style Club Kachori
Prepare Kachori Dough
Soak urad dal for an hour. Drain and grind with ginger and green chillies to make a paste.

Add the urad dal paste and knead into a dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Blend tomato, coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chillies, ginger, Kashmiri lal mirch, salt, dry mango powder, asafoetida, cumin seeds powder, and coriander powder to make a smooth paste.
Prepare Spice Mix
Grind cloves, black cardamom, green cardamom, black pepper, and cinnamon stick into a fine powder.

Resting the dough helps in making the kachoris fluffy.
Adjust the spice levels in the green paste according to your preference.
