A very happy Diwali to all my readers. May your year be filled with happiness, success and prosperity. Diwali is very special to me and this year it’s extra special because I am home for Diwali after 6 years. We have been travelling around since last few years and so Diwali was celebrated where ever we were ( With not that pomp and show off course  ). But this year, I have made up for all the previous years and made sure to leave no stone upturned and make this festival of light and joy a memorable one.  Diwali is not just a festival for me but an entire experience in itself. Cleaning the house upside down, shopping like mad, painting my diyas, lighting the house with lights and diyas and indulging a lot on gorgeous food is what Diwali is all about for me. Rajasthani Mawa Kachori or Khoye ki Kachori is a Traditional Rajasthani sweet like Churme ke Laddoo and I have eaten it on all my visit to my Paternal Grand parents place. The crunchy sweet crust filled with sweetened Khoya and a crunch from the nut make this kachories irresistible for me. So this year decided to give these a try. A few tips and tricks from mom and my kachories were ready to be served for Diwali. They turned out very close to what I used to eat during my visits to Kota and jaipur ( Awesome If I can say so Myself ). Here is how I made these Mawe Ki kachori. Make these Rajasthani Mawa Kachori at your home and make the Diwali even sweeter.
