Onion bites,
often referring to small, crispy fried onion appetizers similar to pakoras or bhajis, trace their origins to the Indian subcontinent where spiced onion fritters have been enjoyed for centuries as part of everyday and festive cuisine.
These savory snacks evolved from ancient frying techniques using gram flour and onions, later gaining popularity in Nepalese and European fusion menus.
