In India, people love to eat street food. Be it any city or any region, they have their own set of famous street foods. The best way to describe this is through the ample variety of chaats, kachoris, and tikkas we are blessed with. Just like Vada pav from Maharashtra Kachori is invented by Marwaris. 
Kachori is a famous Indian street food that is made with all purpose flour (maida) or whole wheat flour. It has a rich filling made of a large variety of ingredients ranging from urad dal, moong dal, 
mawa, onion and Indian spices. Served with spicy aloo curry or different types of chutneys, this deep-fried snack has redefined itself with time.

History of Kachori
Though nothing has been documented and confirmed, it is believed that kachori was created by the Marwaris. As in early times, the main trade routes passed through Marwar, the Marwaris ruled the area and have had access to the best produces. Another reason for the Marwaris to make this claim is their creativity to play with ingredients to make the best of anything. The use of mild spices like 
dhaniya and souf also makes its connection with Marwar obvious, as these spices are considered 'good’ for the climatic condition of the region.

Different types of Kachoris
Though Marwaris hold the crown to be the originator of this Indian street food, the original kachori has changed its shape with time. What makes each version a sure shot hit is its - ‘taste’. The different types of Kachoris are:
1. Mogar Kachori
2. Raj Kachori
3. Pyaaz Kachori
4. Nagori Kachori
5. Mawa Kachori
6. Lilva Kachori
7. Heeng Kachori
8. Banarasi Kachori
