About Bhajias

Bhajias, also known as pakoras, are a popular snack in South Asian cuisine, particularly from India. These bite-sized fritters are typically made by coating thinly sliced vegetables such as potatoes, onions, or spinach in a spiced gram flour batter and then deep-frying them until golden and crispy. Common seasonings in the batter include turmeric, chili powder, cumin, and coriander, which add depth of flavor and antioxidant properties. Bhajias are rich in carbohydrates from the gram flour and vegetables, and they’re also a source of protein due to the chickpea-based batter. However, because they are deep-fried, bhajias can be high in calories and fats, making them an indulgent treat best enjoyed in moderation. Pairing them with mint or tamarind chutney adds refreshing flavors, often balancing the richness of the dish. Bhajias are often enjoyed as a tea-time snack or as an appetizer during festive gatherings.
