Cauliflower pakodas are one of my favourite dishes, i never say no to cauliflower fries eventhough i prepare them quite rarely now, it can be a side dish for a meal or a super snack with green chutney..This is one of my mom's signature dish, most of us know that pakodas are deep fried snacks and this is eaten across all over India, its a type of finger food and this cauliflower pakodas can also called as cauliflower bhajji as i did a similar batter which i usually go for bhajjis eventhough this batter have less gram flour when compared to rice flour..Yeah these pakoras will be super crispy, a prefect appetizier for a party menu or for a simple family get together..
