Chicken Pakora Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, add the chicken pieces along with turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Batter
In a separate bowl, combine gram flour, rice flour, and water to create a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the chicken pieces. Add salt and chopped coriander leaves to the batter and mix well.
- 3
Heat Oil for Frying
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Fry the Pakoras
Dip the marinated chicken pieces into the batter, ensuring they are well coated. Carefully drop them into the hot oil, a few pieces at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve
Serve the chicken pakoras hot with mint chutney or your favorite dipping sauce.
