Dry Fruit Kachori Recipe | dry fruit kachori 

Dry fruit kachori or dry kachori is a popular gujarati tea-time snack recipe – crispy kachoris stuffed with tangy, spicy filling of crushed ganthiyas, chopped nuts, flavoured and tempered with basic spices. These can be stored for a couple of days and tastes best with a hot cup of tea/coffee.

Some tips & variations to make Dry Fruit Kachori Recipe:

  1. The ganthiyas that we have used, already had coarsely crushed black pepper, so we have not added pepper powder. If you are using papdis, you can add pepper powder.
  2. While crushing ganthiyas, just blend for 5-10 seconds at a stretch and continue till it is crushed. If you will blend at a stretch, ganthias will leave its oil and it will turn into a sticky lump.
  3. While preparing the stuffing, keep the flame on low.
  4. We have used ganthiyas, but you can also use plain sev or papdi ganthiyas or bhujiyas. Proportion of spices will vary as per the ganthiyas you are using. Taste and adjust accordingly.

  18. This dry fruit kachori looks very inviting with that look. Loved the elaborated write up about the recipe. Bookmarked. Should we really use ganthiya? with dry fruits is it going well.
