Garma Garam Kachori!

Holi ka maahaul tha aur isi bahane bana li humne garma garam kachori.. Pehele itna kahan sochta tha koi ye sab khane se pehele? Now with people becoming health conscious, it has become a novelty. Kabhi kabhi to humare sasural mein din mein teen baar ban jaata tha puri-kachori!

Hamare bauji ko bahaut pasand tha Kachori, to aaj ye recipe unke naam..

Banane ke liye saamaan/ Ingredients:
