Raj Kachori- Crispy fried shells dressed with various toppings and chutneys/Indian style crispy tacos

Raj kachori, as the name suggests, is a royal treat! It is stuffed with a variety of traditional Indian toppings, savory munchies, and a combination of hot and sweet chutneys.Besides the great taste and variety of textures in the dish, a great part of this dish is that it is assembled live, right in front of the guests.

If you have done your preparations right, then it is a very quick and easy dish to assemble and serve. The outer shells of raj kachori, and most of the other ingredients can be prepared ahead of time. The shells in particular, remain fresh for a fortnight so it is good to make them a few days before the festivities.

The outer shell of raj kachori is made with a soft dough of sooji and maida. A spicy filling dough is made with gram flour and few spices and then it is stuffed inside the sooji dough ball. Then it is rolled to make a medium thick poori. The size of the poori depend on individual choice but personally I prefer a medium size raj kachori.

A mixture of boondis, papadis, boiled potatoes, boiled chickpeas, dahi vadas, namkeen mixture, moth or moong sprouts can be stuffed inside the kachori. There is no fix list of components in the stuffings, and you can create your own version from whatever is easily available at hand, or can be prepared easily. You can just add potatoes, sprouts or boondis and some chopped tomatoes to make it a quick, light, and healthy appetizer.
