BM #12   Day 3
When we talk of Kachori,we think of Rajasthan,but we cant miss the U.P. Kachoris,also the Kachoris in Gujrat are quite popular.All these states have different variety,the basic remains the same,but the stuffing and shape changes.Ofcourse the serving style too changes.Today I have picked up kachoris from U.P.These are stuffed with yellow moong daal and served with Aaloo Sabzi.One can also serve them with chutneys.These can be stored for about 15 days.They might last a little longer but the taste changes so it is no good .Coming to the recipe……
