About Bhajya
Bhajya, a popular snack in Indian cuisine, is a deep-fried delicacy made primarily from gram flour (besan), spices, and thinly sliced vegetables such as onions, potatoes, or spinach. Often referred to as fritters, Bhajya are seasoned with turmeric, chili powder, and other spices to create a flavorful bite. Originating from India, it is enjoyed as street food or paired with chai during monsoons. While Bhajya provides some nutritional benefits, including protein from the gram flour and vitamins from the vegetables, its healthiness is offset by the deep-frying process, which increases calorie and fat content. Moderation is key when enjoying this treat. Some variations bake or air-fry Bhajya for a healthier alternative while preserving its distinctive taste and texture. Whether indulgent or adapted for health-conscious eaters, Bhajya remains a cherished part of Indian culinary tradition.
