One serving of pakodas, a popular snack from Indian cuisine, typically consists of deep-fried fritters made from a seasoned chickpea flour (besan) batter. Common ingredients include slices of vegetables such as onions, potatoes, or spinach, combined with spices like turmeric, chili powder, and cumin for bold flavor. The batter is coated on the veggies and fried until golden and crispy. While pakodas are rich in flavor and provide a good source of plant-based protein from chickpea flour, they are calorie-dense due to the deep-frying process, which increases fat content. They can be enjoyed as an occasional indulgence, paired with green chutney or tamarind sauce for a classic Indian street food experience. Opting for air-fried or baked variants may provide a lighter, healthier version of this satisfying snack.
