Rain: Exists

Babu Ji at home: Bahu, jraa chai aur pakode hote toh mzaa aa jata.

Haha, a very common scenario of Indian households during rains. A cup of tea with crispy pakoras makes up for a perfect snack during monsoon. Pakoras are simply vegetables coated in gram flour paste and deep-fried in oil until turned golden-brown and crispy. In southern parts, pakoras are called bhajiya or bhaji. They are served with coconut or coriander chutney and also with tea. People in India, just love to munch down pakoras and we have a great variety of it here.

Aloo pakora is made by slicing potatoes into thin slices and then prepared in the same way as other pakoras. It is usually light on stomach and a great snack for evening tea.
