Bhajjiya (also known as Pakora in Hindi) (usually onion bhajji) is a spicy Indian snack consisting of fried onions, similar to potato fritters, for which there are many different recipes. It is usually used as a topping on various Indian meals but has now become popular to eat alone as a snack.[citation needed] The basic recipes consist of onions being chopped and then made into a sort of dough with rice and gram flour, spices, and sometimes with herbs, then fried until golden. Variations like chilli bhajji are more popular in South India. Red chili powder, Turmeric powder and rice powder are used for coating chili bhajjis.
Onion Bhajjis are often eaten as starters to main Indian cuisine courses, along with Poppadoms and other Indian snacks. They may be served with a side of salad and slice of lemon, or with mango chutney and are traditionally made to a mild taste.[citation needed]
