About Pakoray

Pakoray, a popular snack from South Asian cuisine, are deep-fried fritters made using gram flour (chickpea flour) and various vegetables such as onions, potatoes, spinach, or cauliflower. Sometimes, spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder are added to enhance flavor. Originating in India and Pakistan, pakoray are enjoyed as a street food or appetizer, often paired with chutneys or yogurt-based sauces. Chickpea flour offers protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making pakoray a source of sustained energy. However, they are typically fried in oil, which increases their calorie content and can contribute to higher fat intake. Moderation is key to enjoying their taste without compromising health goals. Opting for baked alternatives or air-fried versions can make them a more nutritious choice.
