Mawa Kachori
One of the most popular sweets in Jodhpur, Mawa Kachori is something everyone with a sweet tooth will love. It is basically deep-fried bread with a stuffing of mawa or sweetened milk solids, nuts and saffron. These kachoris are then dipped in sugar syrup and served hot.

Panchkuta
Panchkuta is made of these three essential ingredients – ker, sangri and kumatia. Sun-dried and tossed in some mustard oil, these ingredients were then mixed with red chillies and raw dried mangoes. Panchkuta is, by far, one of the most famous delicacies of Jodhpur.
