Pakoras, also known as pakodas and bhajji, are a fried Indian snack. They are naturally vegetarian and gluten-free. They are also very versatile. You may choose to make a mixed vegetable patty-like version or a single vegetable at a time. The binder is chickpea flour (also known as gram or […]
I am so happy with this dough. It was a complete fluke to finally get it right. I didn’t really have any expectations when I created the recipe. But that is often the best time for success. The taste, the texture and the look all just came together after months […]
