Notes

I prefer using Rohu fish to make fish kachori, you can try Katla or Bhetki for different flavors. To remove any fishy smell, add a little vinegar while boiling.
Add water slowly while kneading to get a soft texture. Cover and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to set properly.
Avoid grinding ingredients into a fine paste; using minced onions enhances the flavor.
Roll the dough gently to prevent making it too thin, which can cause the stuffing to leak. Keep the sides thinner than the center when shaping to get the perfect kachori structure. I avoid using flour while rolling to keep the kachoris soft.
Fry on medium heat to let the kachoris puff up and turn crispy without burning.
