Cabbage Pakoda is an all-time favourite in my family. Winter has started and it’s getting colder and colder these days. What would you crave for, on a day like this? Hot Pakodas and a cup of coffee or tea? I would love to have this combo!!  This Cabbage Pakoda is a crispy pakoda which am sure your kids would definitely ask for more. Even kids who are fussy about eating vegetables would like to eat it in this form. Onion Pakoda is another favourite.
