They say, ‘Breakfast is the most important meal of the day’ and as foodies, we make sure we do not miss out on any. Breakfast in India comprises of a variety of dishes ranging from the sugar-infused, sweet and mellow halwa to the spicy, masala-laden, and flavorful kachoris, whose name alone is enough to make your mouth watery, isn’t it?
Out of the various distinctive varieties of breakfast across different corners of the country, samosa and kachori have made their way into every nook and cranny of Rajasthan and almost every plate at the breakfast table is unimaginable without them. Even the slightest thought of the aroma of a crispy kachori dipped in yogurt and imli (tamarind) chutney served with a glass of chai (tea) is so soothing!
