Bhang ki pakori holds a special place in Holi celebrations across North India. Prepared with gram flour batter and seasonal vegetables, this pakori stands out because of the addition of bhang seed powder, lending a nutty, earthy undertone to every bite. Traditionally fried in mustard oil, the aroma itself signals festivity. The method of frying twice gives the pakori its signature crunch while keeping the inside soft. Served hot with mint chutney, bhang ki pakori turns a regular snack platter into something that feels celebratory and rooted in tradition.
