Urad Ki Pakodi, a delicious savory snack from Indian cuisine, is crafted from urad dal (split black gram) batter combined with spices like cumin, chili, and asafoetida. These small fritters, deep-fried to golden perfection, are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Originating from North India, this treat is particularly popular during festivals or rainy days, often served with chutneys or yogurt-based dips. Health-wise, urad dal is a good source of protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium and potassium, supporting digestion and bone health. However, as the pakodis are deep-fried, they may be high in calories and saturated fats, making them best enjoyed in moderation. Opting for air-frying or baking can make this traditional favorite a lighter choice while retaining much of its flavor and charm.
