About Bhujia

Bhujia is a crunchy, deep-fried snack originating from Indian cuisine, specifically the region of Rajasthan. Made primarily from gram flour (besan) mixed with a blend of spices such as chili powder, turmeric, and ajwain, it often includes the addition of moth bean or groundnut flour to enhance texture and flavor. Bhujia is shaped into fine, noodle-like strands and fried until golden, creating its iconic crispness. While rich in flavor and satisfying as a snack, it is high in calories and fat due to the frying process, making portion control important for balanced consumption. It is low in sugar and provides small amounts of protein and fiber from gram flour but lacks significant vitamins or minerals. Bhujia is best enjoyed in moderation and often paired with tea or incorporated into savory snack mixes.
