I can remember my mum cooking pakora all the time. These were a staple for when guests arrived unannounced, which believe me happened a lot! They take minutes to cook and are lighter than the onion bhajis most people are used to. My son once described them as little aliens as I was scooping them out of the fryer - they are crispy and spiky and a mishmash of shapes.
I cook pakora in a number of different ways, either with onion and potato or a mixture of vegetables; onion, potato, aubergines and cauliflower. You can also make them with just slices of aubergine or potato or even whole chillies.
This is the basic pakora recipe which is a great place to start - remember to season to your taste with as much or as little spice as you like.

Delicious when served as a starter or a nibble with imlee which is a tamarind based chutney. My children love these with just some plain old tomato ketchup to dunk into.
