Spiny gourd pakodas (Kakrol bajji)

This seasonal vegetable has lots of healthy benefits though it may look bit odd.. I find many people in my area are not well versed of different preparations of this vegetable. This vegetable can be fried along with potatoes, it can be added into mixed veg curries or even made into bajjis/ pakodas like this... So go through... how you can make these tasty crispy Kakrol pakodas... #cookpadindia #pakoda
