Pakoras are a popular Indian snack made by deep-frying vegetables, meat, or fish that are coated in a seasoned chickpea flour batter. Common ingredients include potatoes, onions, and spinach, which are cut into bite-sized pieces and mixed with spices like cumin and turmeric. They are often enjoyed with various chutneys for dipping.
These crispy fritters are especially popular during the rainy season and are commonly served at festivals and gatherings. Pakoras can be found in many street food stalls and restaurants across India, Pakistan, and other South Asian countries, making them a beloved comfort food for many.
