Methi Pakoda is a crunchy snack that can be prepared in no time and this version is very crispy and dry without oil. I love pakodas and never really cared if it was deep fried. So it comes as a great pleasure when this pakoda turns out crispy and not oily.
The trick is always in adding hot oil to the batter and cooking in hot oil in medium flame. So we always follow that to get a non greasy pakoras. The methi in this is the healthy twist and Konda enjoyed it not minding that it had methi.
So, you can make this for a crowd or include when are planning a party.
