Fritter Nation – India’s Love Affair with All Things Fried

There is magic in the aroma of hot oil spitting besan, blended with pungent smell of wet earth. Indian rain is not only showers — it's wishes. It has a name for such a wish: bhajji, pakora, vada, bonda, etc.

Now for India's street food crispy on the outside and soft on the inside fried snacks.
