Palak Pakode

      If its raining outside and you feel like eating something hot and crispy to go with a nice cup of chai(tea), this is what should be making Palak Pakode, Nothing like that to have hot during nice, cold, rainy weather. yummy!

        My mom use to batter fry onions, potato, banana, paneer, bell peppers, she is really a innovative cook. By using her techniques i just created this pakode dish with palak, onions, paneer, bellpeppers, the taste is really incredible. I pinched myself twice did i prepare this, because of my husband feedback he said its fantabulous. yuppy happy...............!!! 

       A bowl of gram flour, pinch of turmeric, chilli powder, salt and some jeera. Chop and add onions and mix all these with a little water. Deep fry and  you get some easy pakodas. Ho dont worry scroll below for a detail recipe of palak pakode

        When the word pakode comes to my mind, my mind just walks towards railway Station!!! wondering rite....there was a chat shop near to railway station in my home town, he use to make a simple onion pakode so tasteful yummy....my mouth is watering......Even now when i go to my home town i visit that shop without fail..... Even my mom prepares pakodes  it looks delicious and tastes delicious... I don't know what  you people call pakode as HE or SHE, in my school days i use to call it as ''Crispy Lady''..


 I am very happy to say that my little one liked this, this was his plate, he had full without leaving a bite. One thing i discovered is he likes capsicum(bell peppers), he was searching for capsicum inside  the dish and first finished it and remaining later. I think he liked the color green or liked the taste of capsicum or he liked the aroma of capsicum or he liked the whole dish. OMG i really don't know what he actually liked in this dish. There are many things yet to discover about this little one his likes, taste etc etc......
