Mouthwatering meal in many a homes in the Country. For a change this time, i made Pakoras with Drumstick Leaves for a yummy twist. They tastes awesome with the Kadhi. The Kadhi gets a unique flavour and texture too. Plus the benefits and goodness of the Drumstick Leaves also gets added on. All in all, a wonderful option on any day. A perfect twist to the simple Pakoras as well.

This makes for an ideal accompaniment to Rice and even Rotis. It tastes so very yummy with so many infused flavours locked within it. And so is this Hyderabadi recipe that is a common sight in most of the Hyderabadi homes. It's a must have dish and people relish it for many reasons. It's a perfect comfort food. The colour also looks so perfect as well as the tempering. Isn't it folks? It has a lovely look and the aroma also is too awesome. Melt in mouth Pakoras make it an amazing side dish that can be relished on any given day.

Happy Hyderabadi Cooking Everyone!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
