Due to this Rainy season i make lots of fried snacks at home sometimes i make dry snacks like butter murukku, diamond cuts and store it else something like these fritters though i know too much of fried snacks are not good but considering its homemade i feel its okay.
Cauliflower pakoda/gobi pakora recipe is crunchy and you can serve it with simple tomato ketchup or with mint chutney. Curry leaves are the main ingredients in this as it gives nice flavour to it, so add more curry leaves. I added fennel/sombu in this for the flavour. But you can also add ajwain instead of fennel. Rice flour added with besan make the pakoda crunchy. But if you don’t have rice flour add cornflour.
