Pakodas are undeniably the go-to appetisers at any desi party or gathering. While some choose to whip up these delectable snacks at home, others opt for the convenience of ordering them online or buying them from local street vendors. Preparing the pakoda batter is a fairly straightforward task, but the key challenge lies in the deep-frying process, which gives these snacks that irresistible taste. A video circulating on Instagram showcases a street vendor in Surat dipping his hand into hot oil while frying bhajiyas. This daring approach has understandably raised eyebrows and concerns among foodies who are left wondering, "Is this really necessary?"
