Want to eat  lip-smacking Indian breakfast on the weekend ? Try this recipe out 😍

CLUB KACHORI SABZI

One of the famous weekend breakfasts  from the City of Joy ( Kolkata )  is Club Kachori with Sabzi -  Fried Indian Bread with a spicy Potato Curry . I remember  in my childhood , my father used to take me to a  local  restaurant or vendor ( it's so common here that it can be  listed under street food )  that  sold the delicious Club kachori Sabzi.  The  kachori ( the fried Indian bread ) has a filling of urad dal(black gram) and is deep-fried and the spicy curry is made with potatoes  and chole (chickpeas). This delectable dish can  be consumed  for lunch or dinner as well . It  can be made at home in a few simple steps. 

I would love to share the recipe of this dish so that you can  try this delightful breakfast at home.
