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.

About the event :

Sending this to ” Monsoon Time” at Healthy Wealthy Cuisines. It is a fortnightly event, where bloggers create a recipe on a pre-selected theme. The theme was suggested by Poonam Bachav. Poonam is a dedicated blogger who has many tasty recipes on her blog. I liked her beetroot pachadi, never tried making beet with curds in it.

Love the idea of making pakoras in an air fryer. Such a healtheir option. Lovely combination of vegetables and addition of rice flour to Chana flour is also a good way of making them crispier.

Air fried pakoras are much better than deep fried ones. It’s a much needed one during these rainy days. Made specific vegetable pakoras but not a mixed one. Will definitely give a try on this one.

I’m getting more and more intrigued by the air fryer! Who wouldn’t love guilt free pakoras. I can never stop at just a few and then feel guilty afterwards. These look so yummy and still healthy!

Your mixed vegetable pakora reminds me of my father in law. He loved any kind of pakora. When he would come back from the office, would request that I put together any veggies and make garam garam pakora for him. Making them in the air fryer makes them guilt free.One can enjoy more of them instead of just a few.
