    Cashew Pakoda Recipe - Munthiri Pakoda Recipe - Kaju Pakora Recipe with step wise pictures.

    Spicy and crunchy morsels of heaven. These cashew pakoda taste amazing hot with a cup of chai on any rainy day or during a cool evening.

    Cashew pakoda is hubby's favourite one. He loves any crunchy pakoda with his cup of tea. Specially this one turns out very close to bakery style one. The main point for crunchy yet melt in mouth pakoda is to make the dough really stiff, so use less water.

    Also adding hot oil or ghee into the mixture makes it even more crunchy. Some people like to add their cashews raw, but i like to toast them in some ghee and add that into the mixture. This way the cashews turn out super crispy.
