Lilva Kachori Baked Recipe

Lilva Kachori Baked

Lilva Kachori Baked

Lilva Kachori is a perfect snack for a party. Lilva Kachori is healthy, protein booster, nutritious and tasty at the same time. I made backed Lilva Kachori rather than deep fried, which is healthier than deep fried. Lilva Kachori is perfect for celebrations or any occasions like Diwali, Holi or Eid festival to celebrate healthier way.

The one black spot that usually mars the goodness of kachoris is that they are deep-fried. Here is a non-fried version of Lilva Kachori that you’re sure to enjoy as much as the original. You can now indulge in the protein boost of Lilva and green peas without worrying about the calories of a deep-fried snack!

Lilva Kachori is a traditional kachori made with a stuffing of fresh or frozen tuvar and green peas perked up with ginger and green chilies. A dash of lemon adds to the chatpata taste of the stuffing, making this an exciting snack to bite into any seasons like winter, cloudy or rainy days. The flaky and crisp kachori with an excitingly spicy stuffing, is a must-try recipe.

Also this recipe is part of the virtual #Diwalipotluck party! Where some of my food bloggers friends and I are come up with the Diwali theme posts, so many yummy recipes Sweet and Savory both! You can try out and celebrate this auspicious festival! I must say thank you to my friend Kankana for such a wonderful idea, and I am glad she made me part of this virtual Diwali potluck party.
