🇮🇳 India recipe
Pakora
Pakoras are the beloved fritters of India, a rainy-day comfort food found in every region of the country. Sliced vegetables are coated in a spiced chickpea flour (besan) batter and deep-fried until golden and crunchy. The chickpea flour creates a distinctive nutty, crispy shell that is lighter than wheat-based batters, making pakoras irresistibly crunchy.
