Fulkopir bora are the perfect appetizers or tea-time snacks.These pakoras are also an ideal combination with daal, bhaat and any veggie on the side. Winter evenings often meant dhonepatar bora, fulkopir bora, vegetable chop, moghlai porota or if we were lucky, chicken cutlet made by my father. I bet his telebhajas were the best telebhajas I had ever in my life till date.

This reminds me of few instances of my father making telebhaja at home. My mother used to often complaint that my father always overdid things. For example: once when he was preparing phulkopir bora, he made in such an amount (from my memory of almost 25 years back, he made boras from three huge cauliflowers) and we being a family of only four, had to be distributed to all our neighbors to finish them off.
