Pakoras are always fun to have especially with tea. If it rains then the combo becomes marvelous. Actually, pakoras are a delight to have during monsoon and winter. Aloo pakoras are served with green chutney, tamarind chutney, tomato sauce. Some people have it with bread.
I know many people who are new in cooking and can not get the texture and consistency of the batter correct and thus they fail to prepare the perfect pakoras. The batter has to be completely coated on the potato slice and the pakora has to puff up while frying that is a perfect Aloo pakora.
Thus follow the step by step instructions and make the yummy Aloo pakoras.
