minutesMonsoon, Crispy Pakoras and Chai – This would be an ideal evening when someone says “Pakora”.
Since my childhood, eating deep fried food triggered ghastly migraines the next day. So I couldn’t eat fried food much.
After many failed experiments and trials with all sort of flours and measurements, I was able to hit the sweet, tangy and crispy spot . I was able to turn the deep fried Pakoras into genius tasty and healthy breakfast Waffles!! How cool is that?
Bonus! This recipe is all Vegan and gluten free (if you take out the Semolina) and filling. You can add as many as veggies you want. Video Recipe included below.

Notes
- Even if Waffle iron light turns green, let the Pakora waffle cook for at least 10 mts.
- The yogurt to the batter adds some fats to it which is why you wouldn’t need much oil to this recipe. It also adds to the tanginess to the pakoras
