About Kachori

Kachori is a round, flaky pastry stuffed with spiced lentils or peas and fried until crisp. It comes from Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, where it is a common breakfast.

Regional versions

Moong dal kachori from Rajasthan is the classic. Pyaaz kachori, filled with onion, is famous in Jodhpur, and khasta kachori from Delhi is often served with potato curry. Gujarati shops sell small, dry kachoris as a snack.

What to order with it

Have it with potato sabzi or tamarind chutney. A kachori and a jalebi together make a traditional Delhi breakfast.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
