Making pakoras is not a tough task. But the catch is to keep them crisp and crunchy until one bites into them. Several tips and tricks are used to make this possible. These include adding rice flour to the pakora coating along with gram flour. Moreover, the variety of pakoras is also wide-ranging, be it a veggie fritter like aloo, paneer, or gobhi pakora or a meaty delight like chicken pakora or egg pakora, and more.
