Kachori (pronounced [kətʃɔːɽi]) is a deep-fried, spicy, stuffed pastry originating from the Marwar[4][5] region of Rajasthan, India.[6] It is made of maida filled with a stuffing of baked mixture of moong dal or onions (usually, depends on the variation), besan, coriander, red chili powder, salt, and other Indian spices and deep-fried in vegetable oil until crispy golden brown.[7] It is served hot with sweet and spicy tamarind chutney or occasionally with mint and green chilli chutney.[8]
Originating in India, kachoris have become popular throughout South Asia, each region adding its own local variations.
