Pakoray for non desis??

Hello ladies,
I need help in deciding a snack for a non desi gathering. It’s a casual game night but I told the host that I’ll bring a snack. So I was thinking of making spinach/onion pakora’s and potato pakora’s(aloo vada, those round potato filled fritters) but I’m a little nervous. I know the host likes desi food and likes trying new stuff but not sure about others. Should I go ahead with these or make something else?

Also, should i skip onions when making spinach pakoray coz not sure if goray like onions in the snacks? im so confused…help me please!

Re: Pakoray for non desis??

Go with the pakorays! Both kinds would be great.....from my experience non-desis love 'em. If not you can always go with samosas........can't lose with those.

Onions should be fine, you might want to make sure that you don't overpower them with onions other than that they should be okay. OR you can just add potatoes to the onion and spinach ones.

pakoray
cocktail samosa
boneless tandoori chicken skewers - kinda like satay
masalay walay potatoes on a stick - i saw these recently and they were pretty good

Re: Pakoray for non desis??

Thank you guys....I would make samosa's but don't have time so have decided to make pakoray. I think ill just substitute green onions for regular onions.

In the uk - every single white person loves 'onion bhaji' so don't see an issue with it!

Re: Pakoray for non desis??

just make the simple aloo pakorays- that way you dont have to worry about onions or not and all you need are a few ingredients:

aloos
besan
salt
lal mirch
zeera

and voila! they're always a hit- my mom makes them all the time for my brother and sisters work parties and potlucks.

I've seen both pakoras and aalo kay cutlets a big hit at gora pot lucks...cutlets are re-heated better but anyway I've seen both things get equally appreciated.

Re: Pakoray for non desis??

Thanks guys, I made both kinds potato and spinach....People liked both but the potato filled pakoray were GONE in like 15 mins, lol!
