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:
- 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.
- 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.
- While preparing the stuffing, keep the flame on low.
- 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.
