ABOUT Kachori and Aloo Ki Tari (Banarasi Style) RECIPE

I had these kachoris with aloo tari in a marriage breakfast thali in U.P, what these kachori walas sell for breakfast is not stuffed, they are just like our puris. But they are so flaky and just melt in the mouth, so this is a traditional breakfast from U.P (especially Varanasi). Serve these kachoris with Aloo tari and gulab jamoon or khoye ki burfi or jelabi.
