Onion Bajji is a popular South Indian snack made by dipping sliced onions in a spicy chickpea flour batter and deep-frying them until golden and crisp. Known for its flavorful crunch, it is often enjoyed as a tea-time treat or street food. The batter typically includes chickpea flour (besan), rice flour, salt, chili powder, and other aromatic spices, making it gluten-free and a good source of protein from the chickpea flour. However, the cooking method involves deep-frying, which adds significant calories and fat, making it less ideal for regular consumption in a balanced diet. Onions, the main ingredient, are nutrient-rich with antioxidants and compounds that support heart health, although their benefits may be diminished due to frying. Onion Bajji is cherished for its irresistible taste and represents a comforting example of traditional Indian cuisine, best enjoyed in moderation alongside healthier accompaniments like green chutney or fresh salad.
