Instructions
How to Make Chicken Pakora Recipe:
-
Clean and slice chicken pieces into small and uniform size if needed.
-
Transfer to another bowl and sprinkle red chilli and turmeric powder, salt and ginger-garlic paste.
-
Add coriander leaves and curry leaves. If you want you can even make a paste of mint, coriander leaves.
-
Put besan (chickpea flour) and rice flour for binding.
-
Add garam masala powder and roasted jeera powder as spices.
-
Squeeze half piece of lemon or add yoghurt to give tangling flavour.
-
Mix all ingredients and marinate for minimum an hour to experience the flavours of spice in each bite.
-
In a frying pan, heat oil at medium flame and put chicken pieces separating each one.
-
Try to avoid putting more pieces at once, if it becomes clumsy they do not fry properly.
-
Once they turn colour, flip to other side and deep fry them till they become crisp and turn golden brown.
-
Using a colander spoon, remove pieces and drain excess oil and put them in a plate covered with a kitchen towel.
-
To garnish Chicken Pakora Recipe, fry curry leaves and green chillies ( I have not used in our recipe).
