About This Dish
Shrimp Pakora showcases plump jumbo shrimp in a delicate, crispy chickpea flour batter seasoned with coastal spices — turmeric, cumin, black pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lime.
At SPICE ROOM, we keep the batter light so the sweet, briny flavor of the shrimp shines through. Each piece is fried to a golden crunch and served immediately with our house tamarind-date chutney and zesty lime wedges. A sophisticated starter that pairs beautifully with our craft cocktails or a cold beer.
