About Kachoris

Kachoris are a popular deep-fried snack originating from Indian cuisine, particularly known in regions like Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. These crispy, golden pastries are made from a dough of refined wheat flour (maida) and stuffed with a spiced filling that can include lentils, peas, or potatoes, often mixed with aromatic spices like cumin, asafoetida, and coriander. While kachoris are flavorful and satisfying, their nutritional profile depends on preparation. The lentil-based filling offers fiber and protein, which can aid digestion and provide energy. However, the deep-frying process and use of refined flour contribute to high calorie and fat content, making them less ideal for regular consumption. Homemade or baked variations with whole wheat flour can offer a healthier alternative to the traditional preparation. Perfect as a treat or for festive occasions, kachoris are a delightful indulgence enjoyed with tangy chutneys or yogurt.
