Pakoras
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. I didn’t call the batter for this appetizer “special” for nothing—it really is different from what we’re used to, even though it’s made from the same ingredients: eggs, milk, and flour. It also includes various spices that give the finished dish an unusual and superb aroma. Which spices go into the batter depends on what the appetizer is based on. If you’re making pakoras from cauliflower or broccoli, the batter will include oregano, black pepper, red pepper, coriander, and other spices. I suggest making fruit banana pakoras, so we’ll add ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and a little ground red pepper to the batter. So, write down the recipe. Serve the appetizer at the table.
