Know about the Recipe : 

Jeedi Pappu Pakodi / Kaju Pakoda is a rich, unique, tempting evening Snack that can be prepared very easily. I proudly say 'Yes', I am addicted to this crispy, nutty, mouthwatering snack. We usually feel to taste something yummy and hot on a rainy day / cool evening / chilling winter. Kaju Pakoda is the best choice because it can be made quickly with all available ingredients at home and in Hyderabad, Kaju Pakoda is a hot saleable item in all sweet & savory shops. 

With the name of Jeedi pappu Pakodi, I remember the golden days of my studies in Krishna district. After every holidays, whenever I return to college, my Anna (brother) used to buy them from very famous G. Pulla Reddy Sweets, Kurnool for me. And all my friends used to run after my bag to taste these yummy pakodis. 

Lets not waste the time any more... Enter my kitchen to learn this wonderful recipe now. The secret behind the crispiness of Pakodis is mixing the dough in stiff consistency. Onions release enough moisture and oil too makes the ingredients mixture moist, so add very little water while mixing. Mint leaves bring a great flavour and cashews add richness to the recipe. Check out the ingredients list, step-by-step photos and watch recipe making video and prepare them when you are free. Its an excellent starter / appetizer for all get togethers and parties... Enjoy this perfect evening snack with a hot cup of coffee / chai...!
