Pakora is a fritter originating from the Indian subcontinent. They are sold by street vendors and served in restaurants in South Asia. It consists of items, often vegetables such as potatoes and onions, coated in seasoned gram flour batter and deep fried.word pakoṛā is derived from Sanskrit पक्ववट pakvavaṭa, a compound of pakva ('cooked') and vaṭa ('a small lump') or its derivative vaṭaka, 'a round cake made of pulse fried in oil or ghee'.While the word Bhajji is derived from Sanskrit word Bharjita meaning fried Some divergence of transliteration may be noted in the third consonant in the word. The sound is a hard 'da' in the Telugu language and the 'ra' sound would be an incorrect pronunciation. The sound is the retroflex flap which is written in Hindi with the Devanagari letter and in Urdu with letter ڑ. However, in the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration, the Hindi letter ड़ is transliterated as popular or non-standard transliterations of Hindi use for this sound, because etymologically, it derives from .The occurrence of this consonant in the word pakora has given rise to two common alternative spellings in English: pakoda, which reflects its etymology, and pakora, which reflects its.
Early variation of pakora appears in Sanskrit literature and Tamil Sangam literature but recipe is not clearly provided as they only mention them as 'a round cake made of pulse fried in oil' and 'crispy fried vegetables' which were served as part of the meals. Early known recipes come from Manasollasa (1130 CE) cookbook where it mentions "Parika" (pakoda) and method of preparing it with vegetables and gram flour.Lokopakara (1025 CE) cookbook also mentions unique pakora recipe where gram flour is pressed into fish-shaped moulds and fried in...

Rest review is as below
They call it Khandani pakora wala. Which means it's an old shop now being run by great grand sons. It's located on a road named after Scandia's Mother. Next to ring road if not on it. It's famous with officer goers and people plying daily on Ring road during day and evening as they shut the shop by 9PM. I won't talk about the prices as I took the picture of items menu along with prices. Let's talk about the taste. We took paneer pakora, bread pakora, sweet corn pakora, mutter aloo pakora and palak pakora along with it famous savouri chutney made of imli,pyaz, lehsun,tamatar,water and ofcourse other spices. The chutney is made daily weighing almost 100kg. The pakoras are nice and tender on ur palate for people who can't handle teekha( our selection of pakoras were all non teekha) especially when you eat them hot right out of khadai along with a cup of hot tea. For people who needs extra spice there is a hari mirch ka pakora to burn your interiors( I am watered in mouth as when I am writing about the Mirchi ka pakora at 1am). They have this pakora which my mom also makes at home it is baigan ka pakora. Every pakora is individually priced. Evening time is the peak time as you have to face good Queue of people wanting to eat pakoras.
People looking for hygiene or seats while eating will be disheartened. It's for hardcore street food lovers.
I have deliberately written all pakoras name in hindi as they are called. English makes the name meaningless.
Let me know if any one of you go there and find something which does not matches to what I...
