Jaipuri Shahi Kachori is Mawa and Dry fruit stuffed, coated with sugar syrup can be prepared on any Occasion. Diwali is coming in few days. Sweets are always an important part of this festival or I would say of any festival. Diwali is all about lights and good food.
So for this auspicious festival I have prepared a very famous Rajasthani sweet, Jaipuri Shahi Kachori. They taste extremely tasty, very nutty, crispy, crunchy….ammmmmm.
