Onion Bhaji is a popular appetizer originating from Indian cuisine. These crispy fritters are made with sliced onions coated in a spiced chickpea flour batter, seasoned with ingredients like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili. The mixture is deep-fried until golden, creating a crunchy exterior and a savory, flavorful bite. Onion Bhaji is typically served as a snack or side dish, often accompanied by chutneys or dips. From a nutritional perspective, chickpea flour offers a good source of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. The spices used provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, as they are traditionally deep-fried, Onion Bhajis can be high in calories and fats, which may not align with certain dietary goals if consumed in excess. For a healthier modification, some recipes bake or air-fry the fritters to reduce fat content while retaining their signature taste and texture.
