Ensure that is thinner around the edges and thicker in the centre.

Place a portion of stuffing in the centre of this dough round and bring the edges together.

Pinch them hard together so that the edges stick together.

Pick it up in your palm and gently reshape into a ball with a light hand. this is kachori.
