About Small onion bajji

Small Onion Bajji is a popular snack originating from South Indian cuisine, celebrated for its flavorful, crispy texture. Made by coating small shallots or pearl onions in a spiced gram flour batter, the mixture typically includes ingredients like chickpea flour, rice flour, turmeric, chili powder, carom seeds, and salt, creating a savory and aromatic profile. After dipping the onions in the batter, they are deep-fried to golden perfection. While Small Onion Bajji is undeniably satisfying, its health aspects are a mix of pros and cons. The onions provide antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, supporting digestion and immunity. However, the deep-frying process increases calorie density and fat content, making it less suitable for frequent consumption. Often enjoyed as an indulgent treat during tea time or festive gatherings, this snack is best paired with mint chutney or tamarind sauce for added zest. Moderation is key for preserving its appeal and balance.
