Pakora is an item in
punjabi cuisine, created by taking ingredients such as
chicken, lamb chop, onion, eggplant, lentils, potato,
spinach, cauliflower, tomato, and chili (though usually not
more than two to three of these), dipping them in a batter
of gram flour and then deep-frying them. The most popular
varieties are palak pakora, made from spinach, paneer pakora,
made from paneer (soft cheese), and pyaz pakora, made from
onion. When onions, on their own, are prepared in the same
way, they are known as onion bhujia or bhaji.
Pakoras are usually served as snacks, often taken with chai,
or appetisers, and are commonly eaten as starters in
restaurants. In the UK, pakoras are popular as a fast food
snack, available in Indian takeaways as an alternative to
chips or kebabs. Especially popular in Scotland, there even
exists a variety known as haggis pakora and ordinary pakoras
are commonly available in Scottish chip shops. During
Ramadan, the month of fasting, pakoras are often eaten by
Muslims during Iftar (the evening meal to break the fast).
