ABOUT Mrudhu or Medhu (soft) Pakoda RECIPE

This amazing tea time snack especially during monsoons is from North Madras cuisine. Its soft, flaky and crumbly texture is unique. Its a simple recipe prepared with a few specific ingredients. Let me give the credit where it is due: I learnt this recipe from Chef Venkatesh Bhat’s show.
