FishPakoras_H2My boys love crispy deep fried things and Fish Pakoras are a big hit in my household. Tilapia nuggets are dipped in a chick pea batter, studded with whole spices like cumin and coriander seeds and chilli flakes and coriander and deep fried till crispy. This recipe makes a great appetizer or snack is gluten free and very easy to make.

Chickpea batter is a very common ingredient is many pakora type recipes. A lesser known fact is that a paste made of chickpea flour and water added to the skin is said to be a great face pack to make you fair. A very popular remedy in India, where most of it’s inhabitants obsess about being fair. But I digress, this recipe is all about the fish and although I used Tilapia in this recipe, any firm filleted fish will do.
