  1. Wow, these taste just like the pakoras that you'd get from a really good Indian restaurant! I would've never guessed that they'd be this easy to make. Thanks for sharing this great recipe- I'll be using it a lot whenever I make Indian food.
     
  2. This is fabulous! I followed the recipe completely and had absolutely no problems. Somewhat similar to potato pancakes, but much tastier and so much more interesting. I used a very good quality curry mix by mistake (it has bits of saffron), and after tasting these fabulous pancakes, I was glad I used it. Thank you so much for posting this Celticevergreen!
