A fun spin on the king of all Chaats, RAJ KATORI aka RAJ KACHORIS !!! Instead of deep frying the Poori which is used in Raj Kachoris I have made Katoris or Cups which are made by baking Filo sheets. Crispy Phyllo/Filo pastry sheets cups, filled with all the regular flavorful and scrumptious fillings, are used in this Raj Katori. 
 
So let’s get started! Let me show you how you could make these yummy Raj Katoris!!!

There are three steps to make these Raj Katoris.
1. How to make Cups- for this please click here (Phyllo cups). I have made a separate elaborate post on how to make these cups or katoris.
2. How to make the Stuffing/ Filling.
3. How to assemble the Katoris.


How to make STUFFING 

INGREDIENTS:

Black Chana- 1 cup, boiled
Moong beans- 1 cup, boiled
Potatoes- 1 cup, boiled, peeled and cubed
Bhalla pakodis- 6-7 ( click here (Bhalla papdi chaat) to check the recipe of Dahi bhalla)
Papdis- 9-10 (I have used store bought papdis)
Boondi- 1/2 cup ( click here (boondi laddo) to check the recipe of Boondi)
Fine Sev- 1/2 cup (I have used store bought sev)
Mint Coriander chutney- 1/3rd cup
Sweet Tamarind chutney- 1/3rd cup
Curd/ Yogurt- 1 cup, beaten well with 1 teaspoon of sugar 
Salt- as per taste
Red Chili powder- as per taste

How to assemble KATORIS 

First place a Katori on the serving plate.
Put some pieces of bhalla pakodi.
Drizzle some curd.
Now, put some potato cubes.
Sprinkle some masala powders.
Next add some boiled chanas, moong beans and crushed papdis.
Top it up with generous drizzle of beaten curd.
Sprinkle some more masala powders followed by generous drizzle of both the chutneys.
Next, add some boondi and sprinkle some sev on top.
Lastly garnish with pomegranate arils and chopped coriander and mint.
This way make all the Raj Katoris.
Serve them immediately or else they will be soggy.
Enjoy the yummy Chaat!!!
