About Pakora
Pakora is a popular snack originating from Indian cuisine, often enjoyed across South Asia and globally. It is made by dipping vegetables, such as onions, potatoes, spinach, or eggplant, in a batter of chickpea flour (also known as gram flour), seasoned with spices like turmeric, chili powder, cumin, and coriander. The battered pieces are then deep-fried until crispy and golden. Chickpea flour adds protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making pakoras more nutrient-dense than some flour-based fried foods. However, the deep-frying process makes them high in fat and calories, which should be considered for those monitoring their diet. Pakoras are traditionally served with chutneys or sauces and enjoyed as a flavorful appetizer or snack, particularly during festivals or rainy days. Consumed in moderation, they offer savory comfort while introducing the health benefits of the vegetables and spices used in preparation.
