Top 10 Pakoda Recipes, Veg Indian Pakora Recipes

Pakodas are loved by all throughout the year, but they gain a special significance in the monsoon, which is in fact the perfect weather to enjoy crispy, steaming hot stuff right out of the kadhai! Just the warmth of the hot oil in the kadhai together with the aroma of spices can be soul-warming on a wet and cold day. A cozy weekend at home can become all the more special when evening tea is accompanied by pakodas made with love. Pakodas can add to the joy of chatting with teammates or huddling together with friends and watching a movie.
