About Baked Cocktail Kachori
Indian Street food is delicious and lip-smacking but deep-frying increases the calories and hence it is not much appreciated by health-conscious geeks. So we thought to make a non-fried version of Kachori, where you can pamper yourself with the goodness of protein of moong dal without getting worried about the calories of the deep-fried snack. This Recipe is a tried and tested recipe by Plattershare In-House expert, Chef Reetu Uday Kugaji.
