📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pakoras are an Indian snack of vegetables like onion, potato, and spinach coated in a spiced chickpea flour (besan) batter and fried. During the monsoon, people traditionally eat pakoras with chai, and they're loved in homes and at stalls across India. The batter uses no wheat flour, so it's naturally gluten-free.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a rainy monsoon afternoon, the classic Indian way to relax is with hot chai and fresh pakoras.
