Ingredients for Chicken Pakora
Method
Directions to Prepare Chicken Pakora
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add Water
Gradually add water to the dry mixture while stirring until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the chicken pieces well.
Incorporate Chicken
Add the chicken pieces to the batter and mix until all pieces are well coated. Stir in chopped coriander leaves.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot.
Fry the Pakoras
Carefully drop the batter-coated chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried chicken pakoras from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
