This spicy street food is as popular in Scotland as it is in India, where it originated, and can be made with meat, vegetables, and seafood. Tender cod is coated in a light, chilli-flecked batter and shallow fried until golden and crispy. These pakoras taste great served simply with a squeeze of fresh lime juice or add a cooling yoghurt raita for those who need to balance their spice.
