VEG STUFFED LUCHIS

U NEED:
maida: 2 cups
baking powder:3/4th tsp
sugar : 1/2 tsp
salt to taste
Rice flour: 2 tablsp
cooking soda: 1/2 tsp
warm water as needed
fresh curd:  2 tablsp
warm oil: 1 ladle
Oil to deep fry

FILLING:
grated cauliflower: 1/2 cup
grated cabbage: 1/4 cup 
grated carrots: 1/4 cup
finely diced potatoes: 1/2 cup
minced green chillies:1 tsp
minced ginger: 2 tsp
chilli powder: 3/4th tsp
garam masala: 1/2 tsp
salt to taste
sugar: 1/2 tsp

Method:
1. In a bowl add the maida,baking powder,curd,salt,sugar oil and make a firm dough using  warm water.The dough should be firm and well knead.Cover the bowl and set aside.
.In a small bowl mix together rice flour, cooking soda and make a smooth semi thick paste using a little water.
2.Heat oil in a kadai. When hot add the minced chillies and ginger.Saute well.Add the vegetables.Saute well for few mins.Add the chilli powder,salt and sprinkle some water.Cover and cook till the vegetables are soft.Add sugar and garam masala. Mash the veg a little.Toss well. Cool the filling
3. Take four small pieces from the dough.Roll each into small circles.On one circle smear some of the rice paste.Take another circle and put on the first one and press gently.Now put some filling on top and spread.Cover this filling with the third roll,press gently.Smear some rice flour paste.Cover this layer with the last circle,Press gently and using a fork seal the edges well. So every veg luchi will have four small layers with the stuffing in between.Do the same with the rest of the dough. You can roll out all the veg luchis before deep frying
4. Heat oil in a kadai and when oil is hot lower heat,deep fry on medium heat till the layers are cooked and the luchis are golden brown. Turn on both sides to ensure even cooking.This will take minimum 5 to 6 mins on medium heat.
5. Drain excess oil and serve hot with a simple dal of your choice.

Note:
Time consuming but the end result is lovely layered vegetable stuffed luchis which tastes delicious .Can be served as teatime smack too with tea or coffee.
