Origin
editPyaaz kachori originated in Rajasthan, particularly in Jodhpur.[5]
Preparation
editThe kachoris are made by first preparing a dough with maida, salt, and ghee, which is then kneaded and left to rest. For the onion filling, onions are sautéed with nigella seeds, fennel seeds, bay leaves, green chillies, and spices, and then mixed with besan. The filling is then stuffed into small circles of the dough, which are deep-fried in oil until crisp and golden brown.[6]
