Pakora
Pakora is a popular and delicious Nepalese street food. It's a deep-fried snack made by dipping ingredients like vegetables or meat in a seasoned chickpea flour batter. The battered ingredients are then deep-fried until they become crispy and golden brown.
Nepali Pakoras are enjoyed by locals and tourists alike for their crunchy texture and flavorful taste. It's a favorite snack for many people in Nepal and can be found in street food stalls and markets across the country.
To make Pakoras, you need chickpea flour, water, salt, and various spices such as cumin, turmeric, and chili powder. Common ingredients used for pakoras include potatoes, onions, spinach, and cauliflower, but there are many other variations available. The ingredients are mixed into the batter and then spoonfuls of the mixture are deep-fried until they are crispy and ready to eat.
One of the best things about Pakoras is that they can be enjoyed on the go. Whether you're exploring the bustling streets of Kathmandu or hiking in the scenic countryside, you're likely to come across a vendor selling these delightful snacks.
Pakoras are often served with a dipping sauce, such as tamarind chutney or mint-coriander chutney, which adds an extra kick of flavor to the already tasty snacks.
