Besan Pakoras are a popular snack in Indian cuisine, known for their crispy texture and rich flavor. Made primarily from besan (gram flour), these fritters often include spices like turmeric, cumin, and chili powder, along with chopped vegetables such as onions, spinach, or potatoes. Besan is a nutritious ingredient, rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, making these pakoras a hearty vegetarian option. However, they are typically deep-fried, which increases their calorie and fat content, making moderation key for those mindful of their diet. Besan Pakoras can be enjoyed as an appetizer or snack, often served with chutneys or dips. While indulgent, they provide a balance of energy and nutrients, and alternatives like shallow frying or air frying can make them a healthier choice.
