About Onion pakora

Onion Pakora, a popular snack in Indian cuisine, is a crispy, deep-fried treat made from thinly sliced onions coated in a spiced chickpea flour batter. The batter typically includes besan (gram flour), blended with seasonings such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, red chili powder, and salt, and is mixed with water to achieve the right consistency. The onions and batter are then fried until golden brown. While Onion Pakoras are gluten-free and rich in protein due to chickpea flour, their deep-fried nature means they are high in calories and fat. The dish is often served with chutneys, making it flavorful yet indulgent. Consumed in moderation, Onion Pakoras can offer a satisfying snack or appetizer and provide certain nutritional benefits like fiber from the onions, while excessive consumption could lead to concerns over saturated fat and calorie intake from the frying process.
