The onion pakodas are another favorite snack available in the streets of Srinagar.One would find them easily available in all the famous and popular streets of markets and tourists' places of Srinagar.There are varieties of it. I would be sharing in this post only the one which is considered to be the STREET FOOD OF SRINAGAR.

The snack is very easy to prepare. It does not consume much time as it is required for other popular dishes of Kashmir.It is a snack popular for all age groups and not at all expensive also.One might observe that the snacks are easily prepared and are highly cost and time effective ones.I have observed and heard people telling me that one can mint a lot of money by entering into the food industry in Srinagar.
