Vegetable Pakora in air fryer is crispy, tasty and guilt free snack to have anytime.

Monsoon is all set as we had a couple of showers this year. It’s one of the season that calls for delicious, spicy food. Pakodas, mirchi bhajji, samosa are some of the relished snacks at home.

Today, I am so happy to share a guilt-free pakora recipe with all of you here. Air fryer is a boon to all of us. It helps us to create guilt free recipes without any hassle. Air fryer pakoras are almost similar like the fried ones without any guilt.

Benefits of Air fryer:

Air fryer is a blessing to all of us. We can enjoy many tasty recipes without deep frying in oil. It means, less consumption of oil and a way to healthy living. It is ideal to  cook for a wide range of dishes. Moreover, there is no need to slog in the kitchen for hours during summer.

This is the first air fryer recipe that I am sharing here though I have tried various ones at home like wedges and tikkis. I will update about them soon.

Philips Air Fryer:

We are using the Philips Air Fryer, it is extremely good to prepare a wide range of dishes such as tikkis, wedges, samosas, pakoras and grilled vegetables. It is a good value for money. We are more so ever conscious of our health, this is the best investment we have made for ourselves.
