Bhutte Ke Pakode #ChaiPakodaDay
Hello Chatoras,
While the world is celebrating the enormous amount of days. In India, we are celebrating #ChaiPakodaDay today. Rushina M Ghildiyal from APB cooking studio has devised this day to celebrate Indian Food Observance Days. You might have observed few other days such as #PapadBadiDay and #PulavBiryaniDay in the past. Today, we are recollecting memories from the past, hosting evening pakoda chai parties and sharing recipes. I too am contributing to this day by sharing my personal favorite bhutte ke pakode ‘s recipe.
P.S. I’m not a trained chef. I learned cooking from my mom, relatives, friends, and google of course. 😉
The familiar chill in the air and raindrops splashing against your window panes makes the perfect recipe for a monsoon food. While we might resent getting stuck in traffic and having our plans ruined, the season has its perks, too. More than the food, it is the mood that enhances our appetite during monsoons. 🙂
In India, we are accustomed to celebrating rains with piping hot pakoras with a cup of chai. Rains are perfect excuse to indulge in a variety of crispy fritters and nothing better than the corns or bhuttas which signify the arrival of monsoons.
Corn Pakodas, is a delish tea time snack and relished particularly in Monsoons. Apart from being charismatically appetizing, it is easy to make with minimal usage of ingredients.
Here’s the recipe:
