Right from Uttar Pradesh to Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, deep-fried snacks are favourite evening bites. Be it the conical, potato-stuffed pastry called samosa or the stuffed, circular poori called kachori. While samosas are paired with tamarind chutney and green chutney, kachoris are eaten with chole and aloo ki subzis along with these chutneys. Usually, the crispy and flaky snacks come packed with savoury flavours but this time we saw something sweet.
Recently, a food blogger called @foodiee_sahab posted a reel on his Instagram handle about a unique kachori preparation and we are totally loving it. The kachori comes with a fruity touch. It is loaded with bananas, grapes and lots of chutney. The pairing of a crispy delight with sweet fruit seems quite unusual and is being sold at by a street vendor in Shahdara area of Delhi. Here is what it looks like.

The video begins with a huge utensil filled with chopped tomatoes and onions. The man tops it with boiled chickpeas. He then tosses them in some garam masala and salt. He mixes all of this really well. Then, he adds chopped bananas, grapes and pomegranate seeds to a bowl full of chutney. He pours more tamarind chutney on it and mixes it all together. Finally, he takes a cup and places a few deep-fried kachoris on it. He pours in the chickpea mixture first, followed by a drizzle of green chutney and the fruity mixture. This fruit kachori is then served.
