Sushil Singh/Mau: It is impossible to talk about the famous spicy breakfast in India and not talk about the fragrant pakodas of Purvanchal. Different types of pakodas are made in India, but onion pakodas are different. When the onion coated with gram flour and some spices comes out of the sink in oil, the eater suddenly utters a word. Some similar pakodas are made at Bhola’s shop located in Pahsa Bazaar of Mau district. People come from far and wide to eat pakodas at this shop located on Azamgarh Ballia road. There is so much demand for their pakodas that they are easily sold for Rs 200 per kg.
Special spices are used in dumplings
Shop owner Bhola says that he makes onion pakodas with pure gram flour and some special spices. This gram flour is ground at home only. When these pakodas are deep fried in pure mustard oil, the aroma emanating from them attracts people from many kilometers to this shop.
