Raj kachori is a mouth watering and spicy chat bowl. In hindi, raj indiactes royal and kachori indiactes a big puri filled with a variety of delicious flavorings. All the flavorings can be choosen depending upon the taste pallete. It reflects an beautiful garnishing. Basically this is a variety of chat where a lot of things (i have used potato, kala chana, moong as main fillings) are filled in a big poori along with green chutney and tamarind chutney. Normally a single raj kachori feels like a complete meal.
