Keep Pakoras Crisp

cateringfryingindian-cuisinestorage-method

What's the best way to keep pakoras crisp until being served? I am planning to make pakoras for a party and will not have time to make it as the guests arrive, which is why I would like to make it a few hours ahead and serve upon arrival. Will keeping them in a warm oven help? If so, at what temperature?

Make them and wrap each batch in aluminium foil. Warm them in an oven at 140 deg C for about 20 min to an hour before serving, - same for onion bajhis. They will get too crispy if not wrapped. Don't drain the oil off before wrapping.
