Summary

Pakoras

• are created by taking one or two ingredients and dipping them in a batter of gram flour and then deep-frying them. When
• onions, on their own, are prepared in the same way, they are known as onionbhaji. A version of
• pakora made with wheat flour, salt, and tiny bits of potato or onion (optional)
• is called noon bariya (salt) typically found in
• eastern Uttar Pradesh in India.In southern states of India, such preparations
• are known as bajji rather than pakora. Usually the name of the
• vegetable that is deep fried is suffixed with bajji. Pakoras are popular across

• sometimes served in a yoghurt based curry. Pakoras are also encountered in
• Afghan cuisine. In China, they
• are called pakoda.
