Dear Suyash
 
 
The pH of salt used to make tasty and crispy pakoras  is 9. 
The baking soda is most commonly used in making tasty pakoras because it's basic in nature. It's chemically known by the name sodium bicarbonate.
 
 
Uses of Baking Soda are:
1. Sodium bicarbonate is a very effective product to eliminate the annoying black spots that often appear in the T area of the face, since its rough texture helps to deeply clean clogged pores. For this you should simply mix a spoonful of baking soda with a little milk and apply it directly to the affected area. Leave on for 15 minutes and rinse with warm water.
2.A tub bath with bicarbonate eliminates vaginal infections caused by yeast. Gargling baking soda prevents flu and throat infections. Take with water as antacid to avoid heartburn and heartburn. Mix with vinegar and put in the bites of bees or other insects. Make a paste with water for stings of ants, stingrays or spiders. Put on the skin exposed to poisonous wound to extract the poison and dry the wound.

When baking soda is heated it decomposes to give carbon dioxide as one of the products this gives a crispy and And fluffy structure to pakoras. Hence the reason.
