Aloo Ki Kachori: Monsoon Snack Recipe

Rainy season always makes us crave for some fried snacks. A cup of hot, piping tea with a plate of hot kachoris or samosas is a perfect way to spend a rainy evening in India. We usually tend to buy kachoris and samosas from the market but isn't it even better if you can prepare these crispy delights at home?

Kachoris brought from the market are not usually hygienic. So, we thought it might be a good idea to help you prepare kachoris at home without much hassle. Aloo ki kachori is one of the simplest kachori recipes that you can prepare. You can have it as snacks in the evening or can even serve it with a curry for the dinner. We are sure aloo ki kachori will be relished by everyone in your family.
