Punjabi Kadhi Pakora
This dish is on my mind for quite a long time..I have made it before, but didn't take pictures.. I love kadi pakora so much..They are so delicious..Finally i made it today and it turned out just yummy as it is normally.
The main thing you have to remember is to use sour yogurt for this. Sour yogurt makes this so tasty and gives that sour note.
