One of the few snacks that this city swears by is undoubtedly the kachori!

The city is peppered with various places and kiosks that serve this hearty delight, but we bring you the best ones. Read on!

The kachoris can be enjoyed with a spicy yet tangy sabzi and a cup of hot tea *bliss*!

Not exactly a shop, but still one of the most popular places to eat kachoris in Delhi, Fateh Ki Kachori is an eating joint that works through a humble bicycle with bags of piping hot kachoris hanging from the handlebars (woah!). On a wooden plank next to the make-shift shop on the bicycle rests the scrumptious chole sabzi that gives body to the ‘khasta’ kachoris. 
They are then topped with a tangy chutney and chopped green chilies, and coriander and onions are sprinkled for the finishing touch. The kachori wala has a loyal fan following and is frequented by people from all walks of life.
