Summary
Generously stuffed with a delicious masaledaar filling, Haldirams Crispy Stuffed Kachori is ideal for tea-time snacking. However, we would have loved it if these kachoris had a slightly softer bite.
A hot cup of tea seems incomplete without a crispy snack. What better way than pairing it with a delicious and crunchy kachori. Kachori tops the list of the Indian street foods and is a snack that can be had as it or can be turned into a delicious chaat.
From dal stuffed kachori to onion kachoris and matar kachori, these are some popular varieties loved all across the world. While halwais serve it with some meethi chutney and a spicy aloo sabzi, many brands have come up with kachori in the form of dry crispy snacks.
Haldiram’s offers a range of different ready to eat products that spreads from bhujia sev to wafers, namkeens, gulab jamuns, peanuts and even ready-to-eat meals. Team Mishry was excited to review Haldiram’s Crispy Stuffed Kachori. We discuss everything about this product in our Haldiram’s Crispy Stuffed Kachori Review.

Haldiram’s Crispy Stuffed Kachori – Everything You Need To Know
Here we cover the packaging, ingredients, price, taste and other crucial factors to help you know better about Haldiram’s Crispy Stuffed Kachori.
1. Packaging
The Haldriram’s Kachori comes in a red color packaging. The pack is sealed securly. To retain the freshness of the kachori, it is best to transfer the kachoris in an air-tight container. The 200 gm pack includes 9 nine small pieces of the kachori weighing 24 gm each.
The pack also includes a small sachet of Cremica ketchup which might not be sufficient looking at the number of kachoris included in the pack.
2. Main Ingredients
Refined wheat flour (27%), Gram pulse flour (15%), Edible Vegetable Oil (Palmolein Oil), Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Sugar, Edible common Salt and Tamarind powder are the main ingredients used.
3. Taste
Taste-wise, we give the Haldiram’s Kachori full marks! The flavor of coriander and fennel was quite prominent in each and every bite that we took. This kachori had a spicy flavor with a slight touch of sweetness.
We could see whole spices like sookha dhaniya and saunf. Unlike regular kachori, dry kachoris contain a mix of spices and gram flour. This makes them ideal to store for a longer time and perfect to have as a snack option with tea.
Haldiram’s Kachori is well-stuffed with the filling and is seasoned to perfection. The filling was masaledaar and lip-smacking.
4. Texture
Kachoris are well known for their khasta texture. Here we reviewed how close the texture of the Haldirams kachori is to that of an authentic kachori.
These are definitely khasta and have a crisp bite. The ratio of the filling to the outer covering was spot-on! The outer covering had a well-balanced salt level. The presence of khada dhaniya and saunf gave a coarse texture to the filling.
5. Appearance
These kachoris are small, round shaped which makes them ideal for consumption in a single bite. The outer covering has a light brown color.
6. Aroma
On opening the pack, we could whiff a strong aroma of the different spices. The aroma of amchur (dry mango powder) was the most noticeable.
7. Crunchiness
This parameter judges how well a snack item has been fried so that it gets that perfect khasta texture. On the crunch factor, we give the Haldiram’s Kachori a thumbs up!
8. Price
The MRP of the 200 gm pack is available for INR 50.
9. Shelf Life
The product has a shelf life of 5 months from the date of manufacture.
