South Indian Pakoda Recipe – Pakora Recipe

South Indian Pakoda Recipe – Pakora Recipeecipe with step wise pictures.

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

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.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
