ABOUT Bajra Pakodas RECIPE

Our usual weekend supermarket trip never ends without getting some type of millet home. This time around my eyes fell on Bajra flour, something that I have never attempted in my kitchen until I made these yummy, mouth watering pakodas. My next adventure would be to try and bake something with them until then enjoy the simple pakodas.
