Happy Festive Season my dear friends!!
This time of the year which begins from August and ends up in December is the most awaited and my favorite time of the year. This is the festive season for all most all the Indians. The festivities begin with Teej which remarks the onset of Saavn or monsoon and ends up on 31st december on new years eve. Most of the families celebrate festivals with various kinds of food preparations.
In the northern part of India, specially in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi , Punjab and Rajasthan it is important to make Pakka Khana or fine foods cooked in butter or oils. Pakka Khana includes pooris, Kachoris and foods that are cooked in oil. Apart from festive season , Pooris and Kachoris are also served on special occasions or sometimes when a special guest arrives. Apart form that, I love to make pooris or kachoris once in a month just make my family feel special 🙂
Pooris are small, round, flat piece of bread made of wheat flour, deep-fried and served with daal and vegetables. Kachoris are usually a round flattened ball made of fine flour filled with a stuffing of any kinds like Potatoes, daals, masala, onions etc. This time Blog Hop is bringing Irresistible and Super delicious Kachoris to celebrate the festive season. Check out all the delicious kachoris at the end of the post.
On the Auspicious Occasion Of Dusshera ,I made these delicious and easy Kachoris to celebrate the victory of Good over Evil. The filling I used was of Sattu or roasted gram flour. The recipe is very easy and these Kachoris are quick to make. I used maida or all purposr flour , but you can also use whole wheat flour to make these Kachoris.
here is the recipe
