Has anyone got a good recipe for a Punjabi dish called curd pakora?

Is this the sort of thing you want?: http://www.colba.net/~ajstrong/pakora.htm or maybe this: http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/asia/indian/00/rec0075.ht ml If you google for "pakora", there seemto be several sites.

Thanks Steve but no, I'm afraid it's not what I want.....curd pakora is a thick creamy yellow coloured sauce with pakoras floating in it, eaten as a main course with rice. Nice of you to try to help though.
