MasterChef Kirti Bhoutika’s Thecha Tomato Pakodas offer a spicy, tangy twist on classic fritters. Thick tomato slices are topped with coarse thecha, dipped in a seasoned gram-rice flour batter, and deep-fried until golden. Serve hot with chutney or chai. For a healthier option, bake or air-fry, keeping medium heat for perfect crispiness.
