Sanna Pakora ~ Sindhi Special | How to Make Sanna Pakora

Sanna Pakora is a popular Sindhi snack. This Sindhi onion bhaji is unique as it is made by double frying these pakoras.

For the Indian Cooking Challenge this month, we make another Pakodi! This time it's Sindhi special and it didn't strike until I was writing this post that only last month we did a pakoda with besan, a special from the South States. With the way the current fad on healthy non-fried dishes coming up as the latest craze, it looks like these deep-fried pakodas have become traditional and lost.

Well, it's not the case in my household. I still deep-fry pakodas frequently and I love them. My interest in fact lies in trying out different pakodas from all states and across countries. That's what led me to check out this recipe from Sindhi. I referred to both Alka and Vaishali to see the common factor in this recipe.

As expected each family makes it differently. However, the basic step being, adding whole coriander seeds and twice deep-fried. So it was all the more fun for me!

My love for Sindhi cuisine started during my college days. We were a group of six friends from the different Indian States and used to share our lunch boxes. One of our friends was a Sindhi and it was natural my love still continues.

Now after so many years, I am so glad that I have good blogger friends who are experts in this cuisine that I get to know more dishes from this wonderful cuisine.

Some of the popular Sindhi dishes I enjoy are Sindhi Sai Bhaji, Chitiyal Gobhi, Bhuga Chawar, Besani Koki, Mitho Lolo.

I ground my own Pomegranate powder after a long time. And the taste of whole coriander seeds along with Anardana is wonderful.
