Healthy kabuli chana pakora Recipe with Vegetables | Easy Vegetarian Dish

A protein-packed twist on pakoras using whole chickpeas. Fun fact: Chickpeas were first cultivated in Turkey 7,500 years ago and reached India via the Silk Road. The ajwain (carom seeds) add a digestive boost, a trick from Unani medicine. In Punjab, these pakoras are called "chhole ke pakode" and are served with imli chutney during winters. The besan creates a crispy crust, while onions retain crunch—a technique perfected by Mughal chefs. Today, they’re baked for a healthier version, but street vendors still fry them in mustard oil for authentic flavor!
