About Chilli fritters
Chilli fritters are a delightful snack often associated with South Asian street food, specifically Indian and Pakistani cuisine. Made with mild to medium-sized chilies, they are coated in a seasoned batter, typically crafted from gram flour, spices like turmeric, cumin, and chili powder, and sometimes a dash of baking soda to ensure a light, crispy texture when fried. While deeply flavorful, their preparation by deep frying makes them a calorie-dense treat, lending a rich, indulgent quality rather than a health-focused profile. On the plus side, the use of chilies provides a source of vitamins A and C, antioxidants that support immune health, and gram flour contributes protein and fiber. Best enjoyed occasionally, chilli fritters can satisfy cravings for spicy, crunchy comfort foods in moderation. For a balanced twist, pair with a cooling yogurt dip or garnish with fresh herbs to offset the richness.
