Vegan Veggie Fritters (Pakora)

Vegan Veggie Fritters (Pakora)

I was reading an article on food trends and came across a new one that I’ve never had before. It’s an Indian street food that is quite common in India but is trending now in the US. I spoke to my friend Sukrit who told me what ingredients are generally included. I created these Vegan Veggie Fritters based on his advice. They are super tasty and come together quickly. I added my own spin on it by creating a non traditional dipping sauce. Together with the sauce, this Pakora is a dynamite of flavor.
