Gewurztraminer
Alsatian Gewurztraminer (opulent grape on varied Haut-Rhin soils, often 8-15g/L residual sugar) — lychee, rose, fresh ginger and sweet spices wrap vegetable-pakora spices in aromatic harmony; exotic lychee doubling Indian spices (cumin, coriander, garam masala), residual sugar calming green chili in besan (chickpea flour) batter.
Prosecco
Prosecco DOC (Glera from Conegliano-Valdobbiadene hills in Veneto, Charmat method) — green apple, pear, white flowers and fine 3-bar bubbles cleanse the palate between each crispy pakora; taut acidity de-greasing besan crust fried at 180°C in groundnut oil, bubbles lifting potato, onion and spinach fritters.
Riesling
Dry Riesling, bright and fruity, refreshes the palate after pakoras' spiced frying.
