    For the final day of Cooking with Chickpea, I decided to make this healthy makeover of deep fried Katoris with baked version of the savory tarts. I had imagined a spicy chana filling topped with sev. Imagine the trill the kids had seeing these so decked up cutely. They could hardly restrain themselves and I had to seriously threatened them with some treats if they let me click some decent pictures.
     
    I had made these baked katoris and then made the stuffing later in the evening. The baked ones were crispy however after some hours, it became a bit hard to chew. This recipe actually calls for the katoris to be deep fried. I decided to bake them to get a healthy madeover dish.
