Cooking Steps
Begin by blending instant oats into fine flour (oatmeal). Combine whole wheat flour, oatmeal, salt and ghee, and knead into a semi-soft dough using enough water.
Cover it with a damp muslin cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, blend the dates into a paste for the filling.
Also, chop onions, green chilli and coriander leaves and keep some pomegranate arils ready for later use.
After 15 minutes, divide the dough into small balls.
Take one ball and roll it out into 3 inch diameter making sure that the center of the kachori is a little thick.
Fill the center with a tablespoon of dates paste and a little muesli and seal it from all sides.
Roll the filled portion lightly to form a 21/2 inch diameter kachori. Repeat the same for the rest of the kachoris.
Next, preheat oven to 180°C for 10 minutes. Grease a baking tray with oil.
Place the kachoris on the tray and brush the upper portion with oil. Bake in the oven at 180°C for 20 minutes.
As the kachoris bake, prepare the tamarind chutney. Soak the tamarind ball in a small bowl of warm water and keep it for 15-20 minutes.
Squeeze out the tamarind to get tamarind pulp for the chutney.
Add the onions, green chilli, salt and jaggery to the tamarind pulp and mix it well making sure the jaggery has dissolved completely. The chutney is ready.
Let the kachoris cool. For each serving, take two kachoris and make a hole in the center of each kachori.
Put beaten yogurt and tamarind chutney evenly over the kachoris.
Top with coriander leaves, cornflakes and pomegranate arils. Serve the chaat immediately.
