For extra crispy pakoras, ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. Serve immediately for the best texture. These are also delicious with a mint-cilantro chutney or tamarind sauce. If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
