PAKISTANI PAKORA (POTATO FRITTERS)

These are the best Pakoras (aka potato fritters) you will ever eat. Yup, I am making that claim because they are, quite simply, the best I’ve ever had in the twin cities, either home or professionally made. They are so good, that I’m actually a wee bit hesitant to share this recipe, because that means relinquishing the title of best pakora maker. However, I am making this sacrifice for the greater good. The world needs more of these awesome Pakistani pakoras. There are way too many bland, tasteless pakoras out there. NO MORE. I say. it doesn’t get any more Pakistani than pakoras, my friends. With the rainy season upon us, the most Pakistani thing to do is eat pakoras and drink chai. It’s practically our patriotic duty. In commemoration of our beloved country’s 70th anniversary of Independence, I decided to share my beloved Pakistani pakora recipe. (And if you’re still looking for more Pakistani flavor after these, you should check out my Authentic Chicken Curry with...
