Pakodas or bhajiya especially onion bhaji has gained international fame. Outside India, any meal in an Indian restaurant is incomplete without pakodas. It's a favourite dish of potluck gatherings.

Pakodas can be served as a snack or even during the meal. Best served hot with masala chai or other condiments such as mint and coriander chutney or some may fancy tangy tamarind sauce.

Pakodas can be made from variety of vegetables. The popular ones are onion, potatoes, green chillies. But, cauliflower, courgette, spinach, fenugreek or mix vegetables are also quite popular.

The platter which I am sharing with you has 4 different types of Pakodas. Some familiar but some with a twist. Ingredients are common but the process and due to which the appearance and texture is different. I am sure you will enjoy this delicious pakoda platter.

I am serving these pakodas as a mixed platter. But you can always serve them individually. In that case, the quantity needs to be doubled to serve 4 people.
