Cashew / Mundhiri /Kaju Pakoda

 Cashew Pakoda - the name itself tempting me.Making crispy and tasty pakoda in home is task .I love Adyar Anandha Bhavan Cashew pakoda .Addition of Mint,ginger,garlic makes the pakoda makes more tasty .But in my family they dont like mint so i add less mint and more coriander leaves.

Also i want white colour so add more green chillies instead of chilli powder.If we make the dough correctly then no need to add baking soda.

Am really happy that  i got Anandha Bhavan Style.
