About This Dish

Banana Pakora transforms ripe bananas into an irresistible treat — slices coated in a lightly spiced chickpea flour batter, deep-fried to a golden crunch while the inside stays soft and caramelized.

At SPICE ROOM, we add a hint of cardamom and fennel seeds to the batter for an aromatic twist. Served hot with a drizzle of honey or alongside masala chai, it's part snack, part dessert, and wholly addictive. A favorite comfort food across India that pairs beautifully with afternoon tea.
