EGGPLANT FRITTER( BRINJAL PAKODA)
BEGAN KA PAKODA
BRINJAL is also called Eggplant or Began . BRINJAL PAKODA (FRITTER) is made a snack in India . Its always good to eat a home made pakoda for better health. At sweetshops in India, the oil is reheated every time if something is to be heated or cooked. Everything is cooked in same oil, changes the texture of the oil and every cooked item leave its flavour which doesn't bring the right taste of pakoda, that we can call fritter as pakoda too. I prefer to cook at home and tasty enough not to resist.
