What You Need:

• 500g Boneless Chicken, cut into pieces
• Salt, to taste
• 1 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste
• 2 tsp Lemon Juice
• 1.5 tsp Red Chilli Powder
• 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
• 1/2 tsp Cumin/Jeera Powder
• 1/2 tsp Coriander/Dhania Powder
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric/Haldi Powder
• 2 tbsp Fresh Coriander, chopped
• 1 tbsp Curry Leaves
• 3/4 cup Gram Flour/Besan
• 2 tbsp Rice Flour
• 1 tbsp Oil (for the batter)
• 4 tbsp Water (to adjust batter consistency)
• Chaat Masala, for sprinkling
• Oil, for deep frying

How to Make Chicken Pakora:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Take boneless chicken pieces and marinate them with salt, ginger-garlic paste, and lemon juice. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
2. Spices & Batter: Add all the spices – red chilli powder, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric, fresh coriander, and curry leaves. Then, add the gram flour (besan), rice flour, a tablespoon of oil, and water. Mix everything well so the chicken is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
3. Fry: Heat oil in a deep frying pan on medium to low heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the chicken pieces into the oil. Fry for 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown and cooked through.
4. Serve: Once fried, remove the pakoras from the oil and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Sprinkle some chaat masala on top for that extra burst of flavor. Serve them hot with mint chutney.

FAQs

Q1: Can I use chicken with bones for this recipe?

Yes, you can! Just make sure to adjust the frying time as bone-in pieces may take longer to cook.

Q2: Can I make this recipe without rice flour?

Rice flour gives the pakoras an extra crisp texture, but you can skip it if you don’t have any. Just use more gram flour instead.

Q3: Can I bake Chicken Pakoras instead of frying?

While frying gives them the best crispy texture, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. However, the texture will be a little different.

Q4: How do I store leftover Chicken Pakoras?

Store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge. Reheat in the oven to maintain their crispiness.
