Grind the drained beans with the chili powder, salt and spices to make stuffing. Mix well and divide it into 16 equal portions.
Divide the dough into 16, using wet hands, and smear each portion with a little oil.
Flatten and roll out into 2inch round.
Wrap one portion of stuffing in each round and roll into a smooth ball, using greased hands.
Flatten and roll into a 3-4 inch round.
Heat plenty of oil in a deep frying pan or a kadhai.
Now lift the rolled kachori and carefully slip it into the hot oil.

This should take only a few seconds. Flip the kachori over and cook the other side until golden brown.Serve the dal kachori hot with chutney.
