Mixed Pakora is a flavorful and crunchy Indian snack made by deep-frying a variety of vegetables, paneer, and sometimes even meat, all coated in a spiced gram flour (besan) batter. The ingredients can include potatoes, cauliflower, spinach, onions, peas, and even mushrooms, all seasoned with spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder. The batter binds the vegetables together, creating a crispy and savory coating when fried. Mixed Pakoras are often served with tangy chutneys like mint, tamarind, or spicy coriander chutney, making them a popular choice for snacks, appetizers, or as a tea-time treat.
