Cashew Pakoda |Mundri Pakoda

 I was so tempted when I woke in the morning soon to see the challenge for this months SNC.. Yes this Months challenge is hosted by priya aks and i was sure that I will be making some delicious recipe as she is a wonderful blogger and mentor for me..So coming to the challenge she challenged north team with her native specialty which is puducherry Or Pondicherry or the union territory of pondicherry . Cuisine  here is a blend of different cuisine to name it Andhra, Kerala, Tamil nadu( Chettinadu) and  mainly french. The french settlement had greatly influenced the lifestyle of people living here and the food has its french touch though in Indo style. 

For april month marathon I had prepared a varied Pondicherry dishes which is my coming up post next … Take a peek on the thali pic below .. I will talk about the puducherry cusine and dishes in the next post for now I have made this pakoda from puducherry a very crispy and delicious rich nutty pakoda . We had this for our morning breakfast with coffee and milk and they tasted absolutely delicious thanks to priya aks for this amazing challenge . I am sure gonna make this pakoda again and again as my H just loved it 🙂
