About Veggie pakora

Veggie Pakora is a popular South Asian snack made by coating a mix of vegetables in a spiced chickpea flour batter and deep-frying until crisp. Common vegetables include onions, spinach, potatoes, and cauliflower, and the batter is typically seasoned with turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder, giving it a bold flavor. Originating from Indian cuisine, pakoras are often served as an appetizer or teatime treat. Nutritionally, Veggie Pakora offers the benefits of fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the vegetables and protein from chickpea flour. However, the frying process adds a significant amount of fat and calories, making it a dish best enjoyed in moderation. Baking or air-frying can serve as lighter preparation alternatives. Perfectly satisfying and wonderfully spiced, Veggie Pakora showcases the vibrant flavors of South Asian cooking while balancing indulgence with a touch of plant-based nutrition.
