Is there anything better than the combination of fresh, crispy kachoris filled with daal and served with aloo ki tarkari? We think not. Finding them in Karachi is the biggest joy AND they are actually one of the cheapest snacks you can buy with a serving of 2-3 kachoris amounting to hardly Rs. 50 – 75. We recently went on a food run to find the best kachori in Karachi and here is how we would rank the places we tried them from.
Also please note: This is developing list and we will be adding more places.
