Kadi Pakorai

Kadi pakori  is a North Indian dish, basically pakori or fritters dunked in sauce made with yogurt an besan flour and tempered with cumin seeds, it is accompaniment for roti or with rice.It was in to do list and finally had time to make and post it.
 It was raining for two days, so made some vegetable pakoras, but my kids didnt wanna eat them, instead preferred masala corn, was there no-one to eat the pakoras other than me, (my big BOY is travelling quite often ,so hadn't any company to gulp all pakoras), so decided to give them in a different way and was quite successful in that ( Kudos to me.. made the kids to eat it)
