About Pakauda

Pakauda, commonly known as pakora, is a traditional South Asian snack popular in Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi cuisines. Made by coating vegetables, chicken, or paneer in a seasoned batter of gram flour (chickpea flour) and deep frying until crisp, pakauda is beloved for its flavorful crunch. Ingredients typically include spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder, which add depth and complexity. While gram flour is high in protein and dietary fiber, the deep-frying process increases calorie and fat content, making it less suitable for frequent consumption if you’re watching your fat intake. Pakauda can be enjoyed sparingly as part of a balanced diet and pairs wonderfully with chutneys or yogurt-based dips. Healthier versions can be made by air-frying or baking to reduce oil use, preserving its vibrant flavors with added nutritional benefits.
