Kanda Bhaji, also known as onion fritters, is a popular snack from Indian cuisine, particularly hailing from Maharashtra. Made by thinly slicing onions, coating them in a spiced gram flour (besan) batter, and deep-frying until crispy, this dish is cherished for its crunchy texture and savory flavor. Common seasonings include turmeric, red chili powder, and a pinch of ajwain or cumin seeds for added aroma. While Kanda Bhaji is rich in flavor, its deep-frying preparation makes it calorie-dense and high in unhealthy fats, which may not align with low-fat dietary goals. However, it provides a modest amount of protein from gram flour and contains some beneficial compounds like quercetin from onions, known for their antioxidant properties. Often enjoyed with chutneys or a hot cup of tea, Kanda Bhaji is ideal for indulgent moments but best consumed in moderation for a balanced diet.
