This is my mom's signature recipe, tempting,crisp, golden brown round and fluffy. Urad dal ki kachori is a very special recipe close to my heart.

Whenever I return back from my 'mayka' my maa always pack a dabba ful of this Kachori. Maa ke haath a khana is always the most delicious one and best on the earth, isn't it?

These kachori has a much longer shelf lives and can be munched any time or as a tea snack.
