“Holi ke din dil khil jaate hain..rango me rang mil jaate hain hain”

It was Holi and festive mood and season was going around. People in my group were posting lots and lots of holi special snacks, sweets and desserts. Inspired by them I also thought of making some thing special but healthy for my family.I called my mother and asked about her preparations for the festiveal. She told me about Garam masala Khasta kachoris. I Liked the recipe so much, but the only constraint was that I didn’t want to fry them, so I thought of baking them in Appe Pan. Yes Appe Pan a magical gadget which has helped me a lot in twisting traditional fried recipes into baked ones.

Here is the recipe
