STEP BY STEP
Pattanam Pakoda is an instant deep-fried street food of Chennai. These pakodas are made from rice flour and gram flour. It is said that these crispy fritters stay crispy overnight; that is the reason onions are not added like the traditional pakoras, as the moisture of onions makes them soggy after some time. Instead, cashews are added to make it crunchy.
