Aloo Pakora
Thin slices of potato are wrapped in a cumin-and-chilli gram-flour batter and fried until crisp. These aloo pakoras are exactly the sort of hot, savoury snack that calls for chutney and a cup of chai.
Crispy Onion Bhaji
These onion bhajis are all crisp edges, sweet onion and fragrant gram-flour batter. Cumin, coriander and chilli make them deeply savoury—the perfect excuse to open the chutney jars.
Crispy Potato and Pea Samosas
These samosas hide a fragrant potato-and-pea filling inside crisp, flaky pastry. Cumin, coriander and amchur make every bite savoury, tangy and worthy of a generous spoonful of chutney.
Vegetable Pakora
Mixed vegetable pakoras bundle onion and vegetables into a crisp gram-flour coating fragrant with cumin, chilli and coriander. They are rustic, crunchy and at their best passed around while hot.
Crispy Cauliflower 65
Cauliflower 65 is crisp, fiery and fragrant with curry leaves, chilli and ginger. These craggy little florets make an irresistible South Indian-inspired snack or starter served straight from the pan.
Bhindi Bhaji
Tender okra cooked with cumin, garlic, ginger and coconut milk for a gently spiced bhindi bhaji with plenty of savoury depth.
Aloo tikki
These golden aloo tikki hide a soft, warmly spiced potato centre beneath a crisp crust. Pile them with chickpeas and chutneys for proper chaat, or enjoy them hot from the pan.
Bread Pakora Recipe (Bread Pakoda)
Bread pakora sandwiches a lively potato-and-pea filling between bread, then wraps it in gram-flour batter and fries it crisp. It is joyful North Indian snack food, especially with green chutney.
Peanut and coconut balls
Roasted peanuts, dates, seeds and coconut make these no-bake balls chewy, nutty and naturally sweet. They are small enough for a quick bite but full of proper texture.
Punjabi Kadhi Pakora - Onion fritters with spiced yogurt sauce
Punjabi kadhi pakora nestles onion fritters in a tangy, turmeric-gold yogurt-style gravy. The dumpling-soft pakoras, sharp sauce and fragrant tadka make a beautifully comforting combination.
Vada Pav Recipe (Mumbai Style)
Mumbai-style vada pav tucks a hot, spiced potato fritter into a soft roll with punchy green and dry garlic chutneys. It is messy, fiery and magnificent street food.
Puffed Indian Bread (Poori)
Poori is a small whole-wheat bread that balloons in hot oil, becoming crisp outside and soft within. Served straight away with curry or pickle, it turns a meal into an occasion.
Samosa Pie
Samosa pie turns the familiar spiced potato-and-pea filling into a generous family bake beneath crisp pastry. It keeps the cumin, coriander and tang of the snack while making supper wonderfully easy.
