Onion Bhajis are a popular snack originating from Indian cuisine, known for their crispy texture and rich, savory flavor. These fritters are made by coating sliced onions in a spiced chickpea flour batter, which often includes turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder for added warmth and depth. The mixture is then deep-fried to achieve a golden-brown crunch that pairs well with chutneys or dips. While Onion Bhajis are naturally gluten-free due to the chickpea flour, they can be high in calories and fat because of the frying process. On the positive side, they provide protein and fiber from the chickpea flour and some nutrients from the onions, such as vitamin C and antioxidants. However, moderation is key to balancing enjoyment with health considerations, as the frying increases saturated fat content. Onion Bhajis remain a delicious treat and a staple in Indian appetizers and street food culture.
