Haldiram Kachori

Considering how far these had to travel (to Arizona, USA), I’m cutting them some slack. Yes, they’re crunchy rather than crispy, but I quickly learned to nibble small bites rather than eat whole ones or bite off half at a time. They’re blessedly not greasy and I like the flavors. They are understandably dry (see journey, above), so I pair them with tea or some coconut water. I didn’t try them with a chutney yet, but expect I’ll like that even better. Serving is 2 pieces, calories 110, and that’s a reasonable snack as their density and spice level (Indian mild, Western medium—IMO, of course) make each one substantial. I will order them again, as the treat they’re supposed to be. Fresh would be better, but my trip would be a lot more expensive than the kachoris’ trip, and I’d probably be not just crunchy but downright rocky!

My husband LOVES these!! 🤩
