Irresistible and delightful Vegetable Fritters are no less than a treat during a rainy day. This is what I did exactly when it was pouring heavily outside the other day. I made these yummy Pointed Gourd or Parwal Pakoras or Fritters with Onions. They looked just like Maharashtrian speciality Pakoras called Kanda Bhajiya. With Onions added these lovely looking Fritters were just fabulous both in terms of taste and texture.

My folks loved it to the core. Nothing much complicated at all. Simple Indian spices go into making these beautiful Fritters. And trust me these were crisp and melt in mouth too. I loved making these and my family enjoyed eating as it happens everytime. There is one more thing to share here. Many a times I don't use any Baking Soda and mix the batter with hands instead of a spoon and give it a good standing time of 18-20 minutes later. That's my way of doing it. I do hope you give it a try that way too.

Enjoy Frying with Zeen!

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.
