How to make Raj Kachori – I would like to in the record to say that Raj Kachori is the Baap/Father of all the Chaat’s. Its got a little bit of everything but a whole lot of flavors. I dont think we can call it a snack it should be categorized as a meal in itself.
Its so fulfilling and delicious. Raj Kachori as the name suggests is a kachori chaat. What does Kachori refer to in Raj Kachori ? Well Kachori in this reference is a big Crispy and crunchy outer layer . Think of it as a huge poori or gaolgappa or puchka.
This poori is then stuffed with Bhalla, Dal, potato, papri, Chana, masalas , Dahi (yogurt), Sweet tamarind chutney ,Cilantro Chutney and topped with Thin sev , julienned ginger , Pomegreanate pearls and finally Cilantro.
The only thing I can even compare this to would I guess have to be the Laccha tokri but that is different outer covering made of potato’s.
Try this at home, impress your friends and family!!
To make this recipe you would also need to make Bhalla’s. Bhalla Recipe here 🙂
