Piyajo is a popular deep-fried snack in Bangladesh, commonly enjoyed during Ramadan and as a tea-time treat. It is made from lentils (typically red lentils or chholar dal), which are soaked, ground into a paste, and mixed with onions, green chilies, salt, and spices. The mixture is then shaped into small fritters and deep-fried until golden brown and crispy.
Piyajo is often served with puffed rice (muri), chutneys, or as part of an iftar platter alongside beguni, chhola, and dates. Its crispy texture and flavorful seasoning make it a favorite street food and homemade delicacy.
