Denver foodies, prepare to embark on a crispy, calamari-filled adventure! Today, we’re spotlighting one of Little India’s hidden gems: the Calamari Pakora. Forget your average fried squid—this dish is an explosion of textures and flavors that will tantalize your taste buds and transport you straight to the bustling streets of India.
Imagine tender, succulent calamari rings wrapped in a light, golden-hued batter infused with aromatic spices like turmeric, coriander, and garam masala. Each bite delivers a satisfying crunch, revealing the soft, briny goodness within. The secret lies in our traditional pakora batter, perfected over generations that coats the calamari without masking its delicate flavor.
But the journey doesn’t end there. We take things a step further with our vibrant chutneys. Mint chutney adds a refreshing zing, while the earthy, sweet notes of tamarind chutney offer a delightful counterpoint. Dip your pakora, savor the contrasting flavors, and let the symphony of taste begin!
