While pakora – the king of all deep-fried snacks – is meant to be devoured in all seasons, the lip-smacking chunks have a special space in the Iftar menu during the Holy month of Ramazan.
Served with fruits, vegetal rolls and samosas, pakoras are one of the most versatile snacks on the table. From cabbage to bhindi to onion pakoras, there is just no stopping when it comes to experimenting with the fried nibbles. One can have them in all forms, shapes and sizes, heck, there can never be two same kinds of pakoras in two different places. And while our personal favourites are the aalu (potato) pakoras, they are also the most common. And we would like for this listicle to serve a more meaningful purpose than simply make the most of you crave for a chunk or two.
So, ahead of the Holy month, here are five pakora recipes by Indian chef Amit Kocharekar, as compiled by the Hindustan Times. Be sure to serve these treats hot with green or garlic chutney!
