Golden, crispy, and full of flavor — Pakoras are the heart of Indian tea-time comfort. At Mystery of Spices, they’re more than a snack; they’re a crunchy celebration of spice, warmth, and togetherness — perfect with a steaming cup of Ginger Tea.

Instructions

1.	Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, mix chickpea flour, turmeric, garam masala, baking soda, salt, and chili powder. Gradually add water to make a thick, smooth batter.
2.	Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced vegetables until evenly coated with the batter.
3.	Fry the Pakoras: Heat oil in a deep pan. Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture into hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp.
4.	Serve: Drain on paper towels and serve hot with mint chutney or spiced yogurt dip.

Sumi’s Tip:

For extra crispiness, add a spoon of rice flour to the batter.
> Fry on medium heat so the pakoras cook evenly and stay golden, not dark.
> Best enjoyed fresh — with a hot cup of Ginger Tea, of course!

Pakoras are a taste of monsoon memories — crunchy on the outside, soft inside, and full of the mystery that only spices can bring.
