Hate to Admit--- Kach Kach Kachori !!!

Since its been pouring cats and dogs every evening in Bangalore, chatt patti kachori is another way out to seek eternal bliss i.e: for the gasping tongue and hungry tummy.

Kachori / Raj Kachori /Khasta Kachori/Chat Kachori as it referred in North/North Western India, hate to admit not sure what it is called in Punjabi though, never saw them in there, but folks tell me they have eaten kachoris there "n" number of times!!




Kachori is made of urad dal/lentils ( yellow colored) which is soaked all night, mashed- turned flour, kneaded with besan and small/big round balls are made, each stuffed with potatoes (if u want), green chillies paste, garam masala, salt, red chillies, salt, amchur ( all mixed and prepared) and deep fried in desi/pure ghee. i.e: ghee made from buffalo's milk only !!!

Kachoris range from small size to super man size, it is usually served hot, sometimes the vendor cracks it from the centre and stuffs it with jeera and others with chutney which is a bit sweet or curd with gratings . Onion/Jeera/Potato/Garam Masala/Keema etc. Kachori are the variants.

Tips- Make sure you hold it (gawar) bite it and let the krisp krisp sound be heard , for this one dont gulp but munch it --krisp. Advice- Dont drink water immediately u will lose the taste ( sweet and salty)

Recommendations :-
 For this you can visit Haldirams (expensive) but you can get your big size
bit there in A/C
 Please visit chandini chowk, areas closer to old delhi railway station and
nai sarak (book lane) - just be beware of the hovering hookers & gaysthere !!
 Make sure the raj kachori is served hot
 Try local made tamarind chutney- irrespective of place
 If you ever visit Roorkee,Uttaranchal (on the way to Haridwar) please visit
the shop in front of the Masjid in the Bazar--- awesome Kachori even if it
is cold
 Visiting Pali, interiors of rajasthan ,on the way to Binani Cement Plant
visit a local vendor -- freshly made Kachori (hope he is still there- 5
years back)
 Border of Gujarat and Rajasthan-- there are numerous places which serve
small sized kachoris dipped literlly swimming in the chutneys
 Every happen to visit Kanpur, Allahabad-- your super King sized kachori is
just awaiting

Last but not the least try some Raj Kachori in areas Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, CP in Delhi. The local guy might charge Rs.20-30 for one !!!

Happy Krisp Krisp !!
