Dill Leaves Pakora – Dill Leaves Fritters

by maria

Lets eat some Dill Leaves Pakoras today :) try these dill leaves pakoras for tea time snacks which are great for fussy kids and adults who dislike greens in their diet. Add greens in your fritters by adding green leaves like spinach, fenugreek Or dill leaves. Dill leaves are known as sua, sepu In India and Pakoras are fritters hence the name Dill Leaves Pakoras!

Please don’t mistaken these fritters for venkys chicken just used them as a prop for my food pic ;) …….To eat pakoras in monsoon altogether gives a different pleasure. But for a person like me there is no season Or reason to eat pakoras. I can gulp them anytime when I feel like ;) although I miss my mom’s pakoras how much I used to relish them. I will soon meet her up! I miss my pet too and she will always be alive in my heart and mind.

Offlate I have been brainstorming with so many ideas for my blog. I just thought of sharing some basic baking tips to everyone click on the link. I won’t stop here will soon come up with more unique ideas of baking for beginners.
