Pakoda, a popular snack in Indian cuisine, is a crispy fritter made by coating vegetables, paneer, or even chicken in a spiced gram flour batter and deep-frying them to golden perfection. Common ingredients include chickpea flour, water, salt, red chili powder, turmeric, and a mix of vegetables such as onions, spinach, or potatoes. This flavorful treat is synonymous with rainy days and festive gatherings in South Asia. While Pakoda provides a dose of protein and fiber from chickpea flour and vegetables, its nutritional profile can be compromised by the deep-frying process, which adds significant calories and fat. Moderation is key when enjoying Pakoda, and opting for air-fried or baked versions can make it a healthier choice. Perfectly paired with chutneys or a cup of chai, Pakoda delivers indulgence with a blend of rich spices and comforting textures.
