Anshu's Food Odyssey

Kachori or Savory Pie is one of the most popular Indian breakfasts, especially much common in Northern parts of India. These kachoris are traditionally fried and come in different flavors, often with fillings of aloo-pyaz, moong dal or matar. Apart from these, the dry masala kachoris are also quite popular and are much easier to make as they don't require any pre-preps for cooking the filling; pulse the namkeen or farsaan mixture in a grinder along with some spices and your filling is ready in just no time. I am here today with the recipe of these chatpati kachoris and yes! they are not fried, instead baked to cut down on the guilt factor. I normally prefer having them with spicy and tangy " Dahi Tamatar wale Aloo ki Sabzi" but, you can also enjoy them plain with some chutney or make a tongue-tickling chaat out of them; choice is totally yours.
