Replace maida with whole wheat flour to increase the amount of fiber and nutrients in the dough.
Adjust the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and bake the kachoris until they crisp up and turn brown.
Apply a little layer of ghee to the kachoris before baking in order to give them a crispy, flaky quality without deep-frying them.
Use jaggery syrup instead of sugar syrup for a more natural sweetener with additional health advantages.
To maintain sensible serving proportions for a healthy treat, make smaller kachoris.
