Pakistani Pakora
A pakora is a deep fried fritter included in Indian food, Sri Lankan food, and Pakistani food in a variety of variations.
These homemade Pakistani eggplant pakoras were wonderful, and the local family who served them to me said that they especially enjoy eating them, along with tea, on a rainy day.

Those look great! Do they serve them plain like that or with some kind of sauce?

There are many Pakora’s available like potato, onion, paneer, etc… They are best had, as you have said, on a rainy day with a cup of hot steaming tea!!

I can’t resist myself from eating any kind of eggplants, no matter how they’re cooked and served. So this Pakora is a must for me! 🙂

It is interesting what food customs people have. These sound delicious, but I never would have thought it would be something to eat on a rainy day.

Yah, I never knew that either, that’s what makes food and comfort food so interesting!

Aa they say “its in the air” hence pakoras are linked to overcast/rainy weather not that people don’t eat it otherwise but you will see a long lines on shops selling pakoras during such weather 🙂
btw, eggplant pakora is just one variety. Other popular pakora varieties include onion pakoras, potato pakora, spnich pakoras, chicken pakoras and fish pakoras
