    Kaddu Pakora or Pumpkin Pakora – Indian style fritters made with pumpkin, chickpea flour, rice flour and spices.

    What is Pumpkin Pakora?

    Pakora is a traditional savory fritter from Indian Cuisine usually made with chickpea flour, spices and a wide range of vegetables. Pumpkin Pakoras are one of the variations where the main ingredient is pumpkin. I haven’t used any onion or garlic in this recipe. So, this is a No onion – No Garlic pakoda recipe.

    How to Serve Kaddu Pakoda?

    These taste great when served hot with a cup of tea or coffee. Also, they can be served as an appetizer. You can use any dip to serve them such as mint coriander chutney, sweet chutney or tomato ketchup.

    Are these Pakoras Vegan?

    Yes, they are naturally vegan.
