About Pakoras
Pakoras are a popular snack rooted in Indian cuisine, known for their flavorful and crispy texture. They are typically made by dipping vegetables—such as potatoes, onions, spinach, or cauliflower—or sometimes proteins like paneer or chicken, into a seasoned batter of gram flour (chickpea flour) mixed with spices like cumin, turmeric, and chili powder. The battered pieces are then deep-fried until golden and crunchy. While pakoras are rich in flavor and satisfying, their deep-fried preparation makes them calorie-dense and high in fat. However, the use of gram flour brings some nutritional benefits, as it is gluten-free, protein-rich, and a good source of fiber. Including nutrient-rich vegetables can also boost their vitamin and mineral content. Moderation and healthier cooking methods like air frying can help make pakoras a more balanced option for enjoying their delightful taste without compromising nutritional goals.
