Really tasty and not in the least bit greasy, yum! We decided to add more corriander, cayenne and cumin for a bit of a kick, so so nice and enjoyed by the whole family. They're like my mam makes, and now i can do them too! Thank you for sharing Carol!

    I decided to make these at the last minute, so I had to go without the saffron and the gram flour (subbed wheat) but these are good. I can't wait to try them as written.

    This was very easy to make and oh so yummy! I didn't have saffron on hand so made it without and it was still very good. I used a disher that I use to make drop cookies to drop the batter into the oil and it made perfect round pakoras. Having your hands farther away from the oil is safer, too! Thanks for a great simple recipie!
