No story about what Kota is famous for is complete without food. The Kota kachori β€” a crisp, spicy, deep-fried snack stuffed with a fiery lentil filling β€” is the stuff of local legend, best eaten hot from a busy street stall with a dab of chutney.

Breakfast of champions

Students fuel their long study days with kachoris, samosas and steaming chai. Ask any Kota veteran for their favourite stall and you will get a passionate, detailed answer.

Sweet endings

Round it off with local sweets and you understand why people who leave Kota miss the food most of all.

Taste of place

Food is heritage too. It is one more reason Kota is a city worth knowing β€” and worth shopping local in.
