    Last time when I visited Rajasthan, I made sure to gorge on some Kachoris and Mirchi Bada, which are very popular in the state. Crispy crust filled with spicy fillings, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.  You can tell how popular they are by just looking at the long line outside these Kachori shops.

    But while leaving when I visited a very popular sweet shop, Rawat Mishthan Bhandar to pack some sweets for home, my eyes fell on these Mawa Kachoris.

    A sweet version of Kachori, which is filled with sweetened khoya and nuts, I instantly became a fan as soon as I took a bite. You can find them in almost every city of Rajasthan, but most popularly in Jaipur and Jodhpur.

    When the packets of Mawa Kachoris got over after I returned back to Pune, and the craving for the same still continued, I thought to give them a try at home.

     A few tips and tricks from mom and my kachoris were ready to be served. And to my surprise, they came out so delicious that now-a-days whenever the craving strikes, I just make them at home.

    Even my family loved it so much that they suggested I should make it again on Diwali and I did serve them as a dessert for my Diwali Party. So, if you want to relish these delicious Mawa Kachoris or want to make something different for your festive dessert, do give this Mawa Kachori a try.

    Learn how to make Mawa Kachori recipe, which also makes a great gift to give during festivals. Here is the recipe of Mawa Kachori.

    Rajasthani Mawa Kachori is a traditional Rajasthani dish which is basically fried puffed bread stuffed with sweetened and flavored khoya.

    What is Mawa Kachori?

    Mawa Kachori is a popular Rajasthani Mithai where a crunchy sweet crust is filled with sweetened Khoya and lot of nuts. While you get to taste the soft khoya inside, you also get a crunch from the nuts making this Kachori irresistible.

    Once the kachoris are filled with the delectable stuffing and then fried until they become nicely crisp from outside, they are dunked into sweet syrup which is called ‘Chashni’ in Rajasthan.

    Mawa Kachori Ingredients

    The crust of Mawa Kachori is made using all purpose flour, ghee, salt and ice cold water. The ghee is the dough makes it soft and it helps in getting the outer crust crispy.

    The star of this Kachori is the filling, which adds a lot of flavour and taste. The Kachori is stuffed with the delicious filling which is made with the combination of khoya and dry fruits flavoured with cardamom powder and sugar.

    These Kachoris are then dunked into a sweet syrup which is made with sugar, water, cardamom powder and a pinch of saffron.

    Make sure you fry the Kachoris only in ghee, because it lends a delicious taste to the Kachoris and give it that traditional Rajasthani touch.

    At the end, just garnish it with some slivered dry fruits, silver foil, rose petals and saffron to make it look even more appealing.

    How to store Mawa Kachori?

    You can store these Mawa Kachoris in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3 to 5 days.

    Equipment Required – Frying Pan, Sauce Pan, Karahi.
