Gobhi Pakora | Cauliflower bhajji | Cauliflower fritters

Winters are here. The cold and breezy evenings call for something hot and crispy. Pakoras are always welcome and more so when it is rainy or for cold, chilly evenings. So I made gobhi/cauliflower pakoras the other day. They were delicious to say the least. This is a perfect starter and an amazing finger food and it can be made in a jiffy. I had it with my evening tea, so here is the recipe for you to enjoy... happy cooking...
