Cripy pakora
Crispy pakora It is an iconic fried snack that is very popular in South Asia, made completely without eggs, milk, or other animal ingredients. Fresh vegetable pieces are coated in spiced horse bean flour batter, then fried until the outside is crispy and golden brown and the inside remains soft and fragrant. This dish is very special because it produces perfect crunchiness and an alluring spicy savory taste, relying only on the richness of plant ingredients. It is perfect for afternoon tea snacks, appetizers, guest treats or light meals that are loved by all vegans and all ages.
