About Pyaj pakodi
Pyaj Pakodi, a popular snack from Indian cuisine, is a crispy, deep-fried delicacy made with sliced onions, gram flour (besan), spices, and herbs. The onions are coated with a spiced batter and fried until golden, yielding a crunchy texture and bold flavors. Often enjoyed during monsoons or tea time, this dish is a quintessential comfort food. While Pyaj Pakodi is rich in flavor and aromatic spices, its nutritional profile is influenced by its preparation method. The onions provide a source of antioxidants and vitamins, while the gram flour adds plant-based protein and fiber. However, its deep-fried nature can lead to high calorie and fat content, making moderation key for maintaining a balanced diet. Pairing it with green chutney or a fresh salad can add nutritional value, making this indulgent snack a more balanced treat.
