Pyaz Ki kachori is a deep-fried kachori stuffed with onions cooked in a spice mix. These are a popular snack from Rajasthan.
When you check out the snacks from Rajasthan, Pyaz ki Kachori tops the list and I had to make these. While I remember I took to make the Kasta Kachori many years for the Indian Cooking Challenge, I had Matar Kachori and Pyaz Ki Kachori recipes shared that I never came around to make.
I was so happy that I could finally make these. As I had mentioned before, Peddu and Konda loved it and wanted to make these right away. I will have to make some this weekend.
The kachoris turn out very flaky because of the outer layer kneaded with hot fat and the stuffing tastes awesome because of the onion seeds. So for day 5, BM#104 Sweets & Snacks, it's Onion Kachori, while you can check out what's there for snacks from Andhra in Spice your Life!
