I love experimenting and I will never get enough of it. If you have tried Lilva kachori, you know what I am talking about and those who haven’t, guys where in the world are you. It is the specialty of Gujarat, and a must-have when you visit the state.
Today’s recipe is a more modern twist to the traditional kachori. I have for you Lilva Bread rolls. The filling is the same, just a new outer layer, which is bread. The freshly grounded Tuvar dal is cooked with spices and dry fruits to makes for a lip-smacking stuffing.
The crispy deep fried outer layer of bread provides a nice crunch and then comes fresh and exotic flavors from the Tuvar dal stuffing. This recipe you should definitely try.
Looking for some for innovative snack ideas, go give Pav Bhaji Bread Rolls a try.
