Monsoon season is code for hot and steaming pakoras. Not that we Indians need an excuse to indulge in these crispy, deep-fried treats, but it's nice how things work out. It's almost as if God couldn't create enough pakoras for all of us, so he devised an entire season solely dedicated to these delicious fritters. I mean, that's the only logical explanation, right?
Let's not go into the details and jump straight to the point. We all love garma-garam pakoras on a chilly rainy day. Well, we're here to make that experience even better. Now enjoy not one... but 10 different types of pakoras with me.
