Chef Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To remove the bitterness from the fenugreek leaves, sprinkle salt and mix well and set them aside for 2 minutes. Squeeze them and discard the water.<\/li>\n
  2. I don\u2019t prefer adding baking soda to the pakoras therefore I have added curd which helps the ingredients to blend well but acts as a leavening agent thus making the pakoras light and fluffy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
