Heat oil in a kadai. To check if the oil  is hot enough, drop a small piece of dough into the oil, if it raises to the surface immediately, then the oil is hot enough to fry the pakodas.

Now reduce the heat to medium and drop roughly shaped balls directly into the oil.
Fry until golden brown. Remove pakodas from the oil and drain them on a paper towel.

Enjoy the rain with hot and crispy pakodas and a cup of steaming hot chai!
