Crispy Cashew Pakoda / Mundhiri Pakoda (Step by Step Instructions)
I am huge fan of Adayar Anandha Bhavan’s Cashew Pakoda. I got this recipe from my aunt and these came so good and they are almost as good as Anandha Bhavan’s Pakodas. It can be stored in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.

- Onions – 1/4 cup (thinly sliced)
- Mint leaves – 1/4 cup (chopped)
- Curry leaves – a few (optional)
