About Mackerel pakora

Mackerel Pakora is a flavorful South Asian snack that combines the bold taste of mackerel with a crispy, spiced chickpea flour coating. Originating from Indian cuisine, this dish is made by marinating mackerel pieces in a mixture of turmeric, chili, garlic, and ginger, then dipping them in a batter of gram flour, herbs, and spices before deep-frying to golden perfection. Mackerel is an oily fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and high-quality protein, making it beneficial for heart and brain health. The use of chickpea flour adds dietary fiber and plant-based protein. However, the deep-frying process introduces additional calories and fat, which may not align with low-fat dietary goals. To make it healthier, opting for air-frying or baking instead of deep-frying can reduce oil content while preserving its rich flavor and satisfying crunch. Mackerel Pakora offers a delightful balance of nutrition and indulgence.
