Kadhi Kachori is famous breakfast in Alwar, Rajasthan. A dash of hot, thick and creamy Kadhi is slathered over a fried Kachori, to make the street food delicacy.

Kadhi is usually a main-course item, but here, it is used to ramp up a popular snack item. You can crush the Kachoris in advance, this helps the kadhi to seep into the Kachoris, and also soften the hard shell of the kachoris a bit. But make sure you have it hot, else the kachoris may disintegrate completely .
