Chawal Ke Pakode is a wonderful teatime snack, best enjoyed with warm tea on a cold wintry day. Pakodes or Pakoras are wonderfully addictive, crisp, deep fried dumplings that can be enjoyed just by themselves or with Dahi Ki Chutney, Khajoor Imli Ki Chutney or Yoghurt Dip with Mint and Garlic.
This snack is similar to Onion Pakoras, can be quickly rustled up, and is a great way to use leftover rice. Green chillis and the various spices make it delicious and you will never stop at just one. This is also a great option for the kid’s snack boxes.
