    Punjabi here and long-time fan of ATK, use many of your recipes. Had this dish countless times in India and many punjabi households, my grandmas, aunts, mom made this for me often and usually yogurt or a cucumber raita is the accompaniment (you dip a good amount on each bite). Filling is mostly authentic, but should be serrano green chilis (easiest to find in Us groceries, the. skinny hot green ones) not thai red chilis. Overall a good effort and appreciated the modernization for our American kitchens of a pretty hard recipe to master!

      I wish I could enjoy the flavours...I once made a curry and wanted to die...oh it was not compatible with my belly...unfortunately the whole pot of chicken curry went in the trash because I live alone. I think it's something you get used to as a child, or maybe I had an allergic reaction to one of the spices or additives in the curry paste? I can manage butter chicken...but regular curry was a nightmare.

      @@applegal3058 That is a shame. You may indeed have a spice allergy. I'm not sure if a doctor can test you for that, because it's not very common. Looks like you've already narrowed it down to something in curry powder, and you could try making your own and find your allergy by process of elimination... uh... pun not intended. Persons are allergic to oregano, thyme, coriander, caraway seed, cumin and other herbs and spices.

    To make it quick cut the vegetables of your choice add the chickpeas flour with some spices and deep fry these pakora same way described in the video.
    To make it more healthy use air fryer to make pakora instead of deep frying.
