Who doesn't mind an ocassional indulgence with deep fried pakoras ? With the rains pouring last few weeks, it was on my mind, and we indulged one evening. With a steaming cup of tea and these pakoras, mom was truly sold out - she cudnt believe when I said it was made with leftover cooked rice.
We even chuckled maybe its a good idea from now on to cook a little extra rice for these yummy pakoras. After yesterday's Idli Manchurian which stole the kids' hearts, this surely did a happy dance in our tummies.
