Few days back, we went to a zoo, it was a sudden program and didn't get time to cook. Had few snacks of store, but most of them was half empty. So, it didn't made sense of taking them along with us.

Then, I saw the box of these Kachoris lying on the Kitchen shelf. I took them, and other than these I took just couple of packets of crackers. The Kachoris were so tasty, nobody bothered to ask about crackers.
