Traditional pakoras recipes use many spices to create these classic Indian fritters, but this recipe adds a unique twist by tossing in some fresh blueberries. This blueberry and spinach recipe by Eat North uses fresh British Columbia blueberries to bring a pleasantly fresh summer flavor to the spicy pakoras.
The recipe calls for a few spicy ingredients like cumin seeds, coriander, spicy paprika and ground turmeric. These fritters are baked in the oven with vegetable oil and make the perfect appetizer, snack or side dish for a fresh summer treat.
By adding British Columbia blueberries into a classic Indian dish, it creates a uniquely flavored cultural experience. The combination of sweet and spicy in this pakoras recipe turns two very different ingredients into a harmonious and delicious fritter.
