Chicken Pakora

Quick Chicken Pakora Recipe

Ingredients

- 1 cup boneless chicken pieces (cut into bite-sized cubes)

- 1/2 cup chickpea flour (besan)

- 2 tablespoons rice flour

- 1 teaspoon red chili powder

- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

- Salt to taste

- Water (as needed)

- Oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   - Clean and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

   - Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

2. Make the Batter:

   - In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, and a pinch of salt.

   - Gradually add water while stirring to make a smooth and thick batter. Ensure there are no lumps.

3. Heat the Oil:

   - Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.

4. Coat and Fry the Chicken:

   - Dip each chicken piece into the prepared batter, coating it evenly.

   - Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil one by one, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

   - Fry the chicken pakoras until they turn golden brown and crispy, usually about 4-5 minutes per batch.

   - Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried chicken pakoras and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

5. Serve Hot:

   - Chicken pakoras are best enjoyed hot and crispy. Serve them with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
