These crispy fritters combine a medley of seasonal vegetables, such as potatoes, cauliflower, and spinach, all coated in a seasoned chickpea flour batter. The key to achieving the perfect texture lies in ensuring the oil is hot enough for frying, allowing the pakoras to turn golden brown and remain beautifully crunchy.

Fry until crispy, and then drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
