Sweet Kachori – A Pakistan Snack

To complete this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:


250 gm of plain flour
1 tablespoon of corn flour
30 gm of ghee
200 gm of Khoya
50 gm of milk powder
½ teaspoon nutmeg, cardamom, and cinnamon powder
250 gm of sugar
1 cup of water
1 big pinch of saffron
Ghee for deep frying

For this, you will need a couple of large bowls. The first bowl will have the kyoha, milk powder and other ingredients mixed together that will later become filling. With the second bowl, combine plain flour, corn flour and ghee. With some water, knead it into pliable dough, then cover the mixture with a wet cloth.

Next, place a pot on the stove and boil the sugar and water to create syrup. Add one tablespoon of milk. Continue to boil the syrup until it is sticky between your fingers. Crush the saffron and add it in. Using the dough, you will begin to make about 15 to 16 balls.

Roll about one tablespoon of puri into a ball. Then make a ball of the dough. Press the dough ball flat and put the puri in the center. Pull up all the sides to seal the mixture in the dough and press in the center. Make 5 to 6 kachoris. Next, heat the ghee. Proceed to fry the balls until they are light brown. When the balls have cooled down slightly, make a hole in the center of each. Pour in half of a tablespoon of the syrup, cover the hole with the dough then set off to the side. Let everything cool for about half an hour before serving.Enjoy your sweet kachori.
