Pakistan Pakora is a popular street food and tea-time snack made with vegetables coated in a seasoned gram flour (besan) batter and deep-fried until crispy and golden. A favorite across Pakistan, Pakoras are especially enjoyed during Ramadan for iftar, on rainy days, and at family gatherings. They are commonly served with mint chutney, tamarind sauce, or tomato ketchup alongside a hot cup of chai.
Made with onions, potatoes, spinach, or mixed vegetables, the batter is flavored with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, and fresh herbs. The result is a crunchy exterior with a soft, flavorful center that makes Pakoras an irresistible appetizer or snack.
