Pyaaz ki kacori, kanda kachori or onion kachori call it by any name. This spicy, delicious kachori is often eaten in breakfast or evening snacks. It is a make over of traditional jodhpuri pyaaz ki kachori and tastes amazing. Mostly pyaaz ki kachori is served with spicy, sweet n sour chutney and hot coriander chutney. At my home town we mostly eat them in mornings along with samosas and jalebis. But for me time does not matter. I can eat them for lunch, breakfast, evening snack or dinner. Pyaaz ki kachori is famous all over India. But Rajistahani pyaaz ki kachori or jodhpuri pyaaz ki kachori has its special place in India and I have tried my best to make it very close to that taste with a make over. The outer cover of the kachori is flaky and crisp. It is made with little different method than usual. It is inspired from famous Pakistani recipe Keema kachori. Making pyaaz ki kachori is really simple. If you follow few simple steps you can also make perfect Rajasthani pyaaz ki kachoris. And if you are fond of kachoris do try my suji kachori, aloo khasta kachori and poha kachori. I am sure you will love them too.
