Pakodi is a popular snack originating from Indian cuisine, known for its crisp texture and spicy flavor. Made by combining gram flour (besan) with spices, water, and optional ingredients like chopped onions, spinach, or chilies, the batter is deep-fried into bite-sized fritters. Pakodi is traditionally enjoyed as a tea-time snack or served during festivals and gatherings. While gram flour provides protein, fiber, and essential minerals, the deep-frying process adds high amounts of fat and calories, reducing its healthfulness. Pakodi’s spices contribute antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, but it should be consumed in moderation, especially for those monitoring dietary fat or calorie intake.
