Yummy fried snack to have with masala tea. A great way to add drumstick leaves into ones diet.

Wow, feel like munching some crispies rite now, and the addition of drumstick leaves makes this pakoda more interesting. Dangerously addictive pakodas definitely.
I love drumstick leaves and even that slight bitterness it has is okay with me. A combination with cashews and besan sounds excellent and this pakoda and a cup of tea would be so good!
Nice ways to make the pakodas delicious and healthy.
