         I use to closely follow most of the blog challenges and contest, which is so inspiring and a way to learn varieties of recipes...Unfortunately due to lots of traveling I couldn't get committed to any of them.

Recently I found a delicious Rajasthani kachori platter by Manjula of  Desi Fiesta, which is so  tempting and inspiring me to try it as soon..
Today first time tried my hands in making it by following that recipe with some changes...It is a great hit in my home.
