Ribbon Pakoda

Ribbon Pakoda is a popular South Indian snack known for its unique shape, delightful taste, and crispy texture.

The ribbons themselves are thin and delicate, offering a satisfying crunch with each bite. When properly fried, Ribbon Pakoda has a golden brown colour, with a slightly darker hue due to the red chili powder. The sesame seeds and roasted gram dal bits may add a speckled appearance to the pakoda. Ribbon Pakoda is a savory snack with a well-balanced flavour profile. It's mildly spicy from the red chili powder and has a nutty undertone from the roasted gram dal and sesame seeds.
