Today, we’re going to be answering the question: are pakoras gluten free? And taking a look at some of the best gluten-free dishes to try when you next have an Indian takeout.
Pakoras are a type of small fritter that originated in India. They are usually spiced and then deep-fried with a gram flour coating. It’s usually made from an assortment of vegetables such as potatoes and onions. They can also be made using meat too.
It’s good news if you’re a pakora lover! Pakoras are usually gluten-free. They are traditionally made using gram (chickpea) flour, which is naturally gluten-free.
If you’re ordering from a restaurant or takeout, it’s more than likely your pakoras will be gluten-free. However, if you’re looking for store-bought pakoras, there are a few I’ve tried that I would highly recommend.
It’s worth noting that this brand does state that this product is made in an area that handles wheat, so if you’re celiac rather than gluten intolerant, it may be best to avoid this brand.
