Pakoras are made by coating ingredients, usually vegetables, in a spiced batter, then deep frying them. It is a popular street food across India. Pakoras are eaten as a snack or appetiser, often accompanied with tamarind sauce, chutney or raita. They are also offered with masala chai to guests at Indian wedding ceremonies. Vermicelli pakoda is a variation from the usual one. I used millet vermicelli for this recipe. A great snack with hot chai for this coming monsoon season!
