A sweet kachori stuffed with mawa and dry fruit and dipped in sugar syrup, sold at Jaipur's sweet shops beside the savoury onion version and eaten hot.

Mawa kachori is the sweet cousin of the onion kachori: Wikipedia's entry on Rajasthani cuisine describes it as a kachauri stuffed with mawa, reduced milk. Condé Nast Traveller India's contributor praises Rawat Misthan Bhandar's, doused in sugar syrup with a hint of cardamom and dried fruit inside, best eaten straight from the kadhai. Travel + Leisure Asia lists it at LMB and Sodhani, and Outlook Traveller Eats calls Rawat's the best thing on that shop's menu.
