Pakoras are one of my all time favorite Indian snacks.
Who would think combining a few vegetables together, dipping them into gram flour (chickpea) and frying/baking could turn out such a delightful snack. Of course I knew that you don’t need a lot of ingredients to make a delicious meal. Many of the foods I prepare use four ingredients or less.
In the past, the pakoras I’ve made have been (usually) pan fried. Since we don’t eat them often I’m not worried about packing on the excess poundage. Since pakoras have been on my brain for the past week or so, I do believe I’ll finally get around to making them today.
So… I guess you can add pakoras to my list of recent cravings that I’ve finally decided to make at home. I’ll be sure to post pictures.!
Last week, I made baked curried lentil burgers and vegan ranch fries to satisfy my food cravings. And this morning, I made my modified version of V8 juice. Good thing I like to cook, I rarely follow a recipe. I have more fun creating my own.
Pakoras? That would be something like our fritters…or cucur, they’re called in Malay. My daughter loves those – or anything deep-fried for that matter. Not very healthy though…

@suituapui, Yes they are vegetable fritters. I agree with the deep frying, we don’t do that since that is so unhealthy. I didn’t make the pakoras yesterday. My daughter saw your noodle dish and wanted me to make something like that, so I did. I’ll make them this weekend. I usually make mine in a skillet with a bit of oil but I bake them also, which is how I’ll be making them this weekend. 🙂

I will have to try these! I have been hesitant to try bakey type things as I haven’t had much luck with making them…but…practice makes perfect, eh!?

@Jennifer, I haven’t made them (yet.) Hopefully, I’ll do it this week. 🙂
