Piaja means onion in odisha. The main ingredient of this dish is onion so the name is PIAJI. Everyone might be thinking what is the difference between onion pakoda and piaji, then I will say the difference is the process of preparation.
Piaji is a famous street food of Odisha specially in my district with ghuguni ( yellow peas curry in odisha style).
