    • Place them in a absorbant paper for the excess oil to be absorbed. Serve Crispy Pakoda.

    Notes

    • While placing the pakodas into hot oil for deep frying them do not over crowd with more pakodas in one go. They would stick with each other.
    • Cook in low flame so that the pakodas cook well.
    • If you are adding more than one tablespoon of batter in one pakoda they wont turn crispy instead they would have a softer inside with a crispy outside coating.
