About Beard pakoda
Beard Pakoda is a unique twist on the traditional Indian pakoda, a deep-fried snack popular in South Asian cuisine. This variation features a blend of gram flour (besan), chopped vegetables, and aromatic spices paired with strands of edible, fiber-rich herbs designed to resemble a beard in appearance. The batter is spiced with turmeric, chili powder, and coriander for authentic flavor. While deep-frying gives it a satisfying crunch, it also contributes to higher levels of fat and calories, making moderation key for enjoyment. On the healthier side, gram flour is packed with protein and essential nutrients like folate and iron, while the herbs and vegetables offer dietary fiber and vitamins. Beard Pakoda is typically served as an appetizer or tea-time snack and pairs wonderfully with mint chutney or tamarind sauce. Its playful presentation and savory taste make it a crowd-pleasing choice despite its indulgent nature.
