Baked pyaaz ki kachoris

One of the yummiest snack I have eaten is pyaaz ki kachoris in Jaipur! Mouthwatering and flavorful and the name is enough to drool over.the only issue was it being fried and so tried my hand at baking them. I worked on the pastry dough and got it as close to the taste of fried stuff such that my son was wondering what's with me ! That's how bad my reputation is with frying. So here is this mouthwatering dish!
