Kachoris of Jodhpur

Jodhpur is the flagship city for kachoris.

The city serves multiple types: pyaaz kachori (onion kachori), dal kachori, and the sweet mawa kachori.

Pyaaz kachoris are mostly unique to Jodhpur. Some other cities serve them too, there's a famous place in Jaipur called Rawat Mishthan Bhandar, and you can also get them in Kota under the name Jodhpur Sweets. But nothing's better than Jodhpur's pyaaz kachoris.

Dal kachoris are popular throughout India; Jodhpur serves them well too.

Mawa kachoris are made up of mawa and dry fruits. Mawa (also known as khoya) is basically made by cooking milk gently until it becomes a creamy solid. It's filled into the kachori and then dipped in chashni (sugar syrup).

You can also get kadhi kachoris in Jodhpur. I didn't try them here, but I've tried them in Alwar, and I think the origin is from Ajmer (I still have to try kadhi kachoris in Ajmer).

Where to Eat

If you're on a train journey, there's a popular eatery by the name of Janta Sweet Home, you can get pyaaz kachori & mawa kachoris packed from here.

Another good spot for pyaaz kachori is Surya Namkeen.

For dal kachoris, try Narayan Mishthan Bhandar (Lal Bhatti Wala), this has to be the best dal kachoris I have tried. They are made with pure ghee and are super fresh & crispy.

Rating: 9/10. Probably the best in India.
