Elevated bar food - these fried cauliflower pieces were crunchy, tender, and not bitter at all. Plus the portion was huge. #yeg #yegfood #yegfoodie #yegeats #latergram

Veggie Pakora at Naanolicious

Veggie pakora has never been my favourite item at East Indian restaurants because I find they tend to be very dense and dry. However, I decided to try Naanolicious' take on them when I was there the other day for supper.

I was pleasantly surprised. The pakoras (which is like a fried dumpling of potato and spinach, dipped in lentil dough) were bite-sized but very flavourful - and moist. Yes, they were a little greasy, but enhanced the flavour, along with the chutney served to the side. This is a really nice dish to share as an appetizer.
