Arugula Pakora with Lemon Yogurt Sauce

Arugula Pakoras

I bought a big batch arugula last week. I’ve made a salad, add it to sandwich and made stir fry arugula, but I still have some arugula sitting in my fridge. So I decided to make arugula pakora for an afternoon snack. I know deep fried vegetable is not the healthiest meal but I think it the easiest way to cook a big batch leftover vegetables. Besides that who can resist a plate of warm vegetable fritters?
