Nowadays, we all are getting health conscious and feel guilty in eating deep fried food but are tempted to eat the same. 
I tried to find a solution by preparing a bread pakora pan/ iron skillet using minimum oil. The taste comes close to deep fried pakora and is relatively healthy and no guilt of eating deep fried food. 
It can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and is good to eat as a snack and lunch.

  • ½ cup peas – crushed
