Star Rating WIDGET PACK

We Indians are crazy about 'pakore' .. don't you think so ?? We make fritters out of almost everything - 'potato', 'eggplant', 'okra', 'cabbage', 'chili', 'lentils', 'chicken', 'fish' and so many more ?. 'He' adores only two vegetables in his life, one is potato and the other one is cauliflower. You can impress him with any type of cauliflower dish. So, is there any doubt about what I'm talking about ?? Obviously about 'fulkopir pokora' or 'gobi pakore' !! One of our favorite weekday's meal is 'rice', 'veg daal' and these fritters. Generally in two ways you can make these fritters, one - you have to boil the florets before frying and two- you can stir fry them before deep frying like we Bengalis do. Believe me, the taste becomes delicious. You can enjoy your lunch more with these crunchy fritters.
