Pakoras or Deep Fried Fritters are a mood lifter any time! I have fond memories of Capsicum Pakoras. Quite a rarity, Mom used to make Pakoras for breakfast, so for me its always been Capsicum Pakoras with Coffee! My friends wonder at this combination and ask me if I really like it! (Yes, I do !!! :)) Capsicum is called as Donne Mirsaang in Konkani.
Servings ~ Around 20 pieces of Pakoras.
