A lot of people, especially those from Indore, start drooling on hearing the name “Bam Kachori”. Prasidh sweet’s Bam Kachori has remained the first choice of people for decades. And the recipe runs in the family. It is believed that in the 60s, Badrilal along with his wife Bhanwaribai, started making kachoris at home and Badrilal used to sell the kachoris on a bicycle. Badri used to shout ‘bam’ to attract the attention of the people and with no time, the kachori gained popularity as “Bam Kachori”. This legacy continues even today.
Another specialty of this kachori is that it is made on Sigdi unlike many other places. At the very beginning, this kachori was sold for 10 paise and today, its price ranges from Rs 10 to Rs 15 per piece. Prepared with a masala of malvi red chili, gram flour, dal and home-made garam masala, these kachoris are special due to many reasons. Not just a tempting masala, it also has love and affection that has tied people together for ages.
