9: پکوڑا

Roman Urdu: Pakora

My opinion: Pakora ko English mein pakora hi kehte hain. Kuchh log ye kehte hain ke pakora ki English fritter hai jo ghalat hai. Fritter ki shakal pakora ki tara ho sakti hai lekin fritter pakora nahi ho sakta. Pakora South Asian ka food hai jab ke fritter South Asian ka food nahi. Pakora ki recipe fritter ki recipe se mukhtalif hai. Aj kal aksar English dictionaries mein pakora ka lafz shamil kar diya gya hai.
