Kachori is very delicious snack and loved by every age people in India. This recipe is generally made with maida. In India you can get variety of kachories like… moong dal kachori, matar kachori, or simple kachori etc. Today I have planned to share Moong dal namkeen kachori recipe with you all. This becomes very tasty if filled with perfect blend of moong dal namkeen and other masalas. Generally everyone use moong dal and soak it in water, here to give more taste I had replaced moong dal with moong dal namkeen( I used Haldiram). If u wish, u can use moong dal(first soak it in water for at-least 1 hour or so) instead of using its namkeen. Masala ingredients will be same for both. With lots of trial for kachori and its masala ingradients, now I got perfect one…very very tasty and cruchy…come soon…join me…now have a look on its ingredients.
