Re: Pakoray
Thanks for sharing the recipe Ambreen, I also make pakoras as my family love them, only difference is I add the gram flour to the onions potatoes etc... then gradually add water this way I can keep the consistency acurate, if they are too runny the pakoras do not turn out how they should.
