Khasta Kachori Besan
Khasta kachori is a delicacy from north India. Khasta kachori is a spicy puffed pastry. Kachories are made with a variety of different filling, and I have many recipes for Khasta Kachori. They are my favorite over samosa. Maybe one of the reasons is I can prepare them even a few days before and can be served at room temperature and served many different ways, even serving as chaat.

These mouthwatering Kachories can be served as a snack, chaat or part of the main meal, making the meal exotic.
