Pakora
Pakora is a popular fried snack originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is known by various names across different regions, such as bhaji in Maharashtra, bajji in South India, and pakoda in North India. Pakoras are typically made by dipping ingredients in a batter made from gram flour and then deep-frying them.
Ingredients
The main ingredient in pakoras is gram flour, also known as besan. This is a type of flour made from chickpeas. The batter is typically spiced with ingredients such as turmeric, chili powder, and salt.
Various ingredients can be used to make pakoras, including onion, potato, spinach, paneer, chicken, and fish. These ingredients are dipped in the batter and then deep-fried until golden brown.
Varieties
There are many varieties of pakoras, each with its own unique taste and texture. Some of the most popular varieties include:
- Onion pakora: Made with thinly sliced onions.
- Potato pakora: Made with thinly sliced potatoes.
- Paneer pakora: Made with cubes of paneer, a type of Indian cheese.
- Chicken pakora: Made with pieces of chicken.
- Fish pakora: Made with pieces of fish.
Serving
Pakoras are typically served hot, often with a side of chutney or ketchup. They are a popular snack in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal, and are often served at parties, festivals, and other social gatherings.
Health considerations
While pakoras are a tasty snack, they are deep-fried and therefore high in fat. They can be part of a balanced diet when eaten in moderation.
Cultural significance
Pakoras have a significant cultural role in the Indian subcontinent. They are often prepared during festivals and celebrations, and are a popular street food.
