Enjoy...........................................................


  • The batter for the pakoda should be slightly thinner like dosa batter.Initially it is crispy but after soaking in the gravy it becomes soft.
  • Here I used slightly sour yogurt to get a nice tangy taste.
  • If the yogurt is too thick add little more water to adjust the consistency.
