Tea time without some fried snacks is just meaningless. One can't resist the temptation of deep fried pakoras. A bowl of hot and crispy pakoras is anytime welcome. So here are some easy to make yummy cabbage pakoras / fritters.
These crispy treats are just perfect with your evening cuppa. They are absolutely easy to make as it requires only some basic ingredients. I made them both spicy and tangy. However, it can be adjusted accordingly. You can serve them as appetizers too, with chutney, sauce, labneh, hummus or cheese spread.
If it happens to be a rainy day or a cold winter night, then the excitement of having these pakoras reaches to another level.
Any leftover pakoras can be made into Kadhi Pakora the next day and enjoy with hot steamed rice / jeera rice for a great comfort meal. You can also dish out pakora chaat for a light dinner.
