About Bhajia

Bhajia, also known as pakoras, are a popular Indian snack made by deep-frying vegetable slices or pieces, such as potatoes, onions, or spinach, in a spiced chickpea flour batter. The batter typically includes ingredients like gram flour, turmeric, chili powder, carom seeds, and salt. Bhajia is a staple of Indian street food, often served with chutneys or tea, and is enjoyed for its crisp, savory flavor. In terms of nutrition, bhajia offers some benefits due to the use of gram flour, which is high in protein, fiber, and essential micronutrients. Additionally, the inclusion of vegetables adds vitamins and minerals. However, because bhajia are deep-fried, they can be calorie-dense and high in fats, which may not make them ideal for regular consumption in large quantities. Moderation and pairing with healthier sides can help balance its nutritional impact.
