Take it from me, nothing compares to a plate of steaming pakodas after a long day spent making snowballs, eating waffles, and trudging on snow holding a microphone in one hand and self-respect in the other. I am predicting that after zero, yoga, and Rajinikanth, India’s greatest contribution to world civilisation will be pakodas. As per the 2016-17 NSSO data, a pakodawala makes an average of 300 pakodas a day. That’s 1,09,500 pakodas a year. Now, if every one of India’s 2 crore unemployed sets up a pakoda stall, that’s 2 crore pakoda stalls producing 2.1 trillion pakodas a year, generating revenue of ₹21 trillion.
