Aloo kachori -Crisp homemade pastry shells stuffed with mint and potato mixture
Aloo kachori is a popular snack in North India, with a few different versions to suit regional tastes. When I came to Dubai, I tasted this delicious crisp kachori which is an specialty of the Bhatia community. Since then this is one of my favourite recipes, and every one at my home loves this. The addition of mint and ground pomegranate makes this special and different. These are best served with mint chutney and date and tamarind chutney
