Onion Kachori or popularly known as Pyaz ki kachori is a delicious, crispy and spicy snack. Originating from Jodhpur, Rajasthan onion kachori's are also served for breakfast along with Jalebi and a cup of hot tea. Deep fried flaky onion Kachori is an amazing snack to relish specially on rainy days. These steaming hot pyaar ki kachoris or aloo pyaz ki kachoris are sold at almost all sweet-snack shops in Rajasthan. You can prepare these kachoris ahead of time and re-heat them in an oven just before serving.
