Pehlwan Ji Khasta Wale Recommended By @haridwarfoodsafari
As per the food influencer, “ In my opinion, the famous kachori shop in Haridwar is Pahalwan Ki Kachori, which is located in Chowk Bazar, Kankhal. Where you get your turn to buy kachori after a long wait. The secret of their kachori is in their asafetida potato curry, due to which it is very famous.”
