Whether you're having a party, it's a rainy day, or you just want a yummy treat, chicken pakoras will make your taste buds happy. In this blog post, we'll show you how to make these crispy and irresistible chicken pakoras at your own place.

Ingredients:

For the Marinade:

- 500 grams boneless chicken pieces (cut into small bits)

- 1 cup thick yogurt

- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste

- 1 teaspoon red chili powder

- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

- 1 teaspoon garam masala

- Salt (as per your taste)

For the Batter:

- 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)

- 2 tablespoons rice flour

- 1 teaspoon red chili powder

- A tiny bit of baking soda

- Salt (as per your taste)

- Water (enough to make a thick batter)

Other Stuff You'll Need:

- Vegetable oil (for frying)

- Curry leaves (optional, but they add great flavor)

Steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

Start by marinating the chicken. In a big bowl, mix the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and some salt. Stir it well until it's all smooth.

2. Add Chicken to the Marinade:

Put the little chicken pieces into this marinade. Make sure they all get a good coating. Cover the bowl and put it in your fridge for about 30 minutes. This lets the chicken soak up all those tasty flavors.

3. Make the Batter:

In another bowl, make the batter for covering the chicken. Mix chickpea flour, rice flour, red chili powder, a tiny bit of baking soda, and some salt. Slowly add water while you stir until you get a thick batter. It should stick to a spoon but not be too runny.

4. Heat Oil for Frying:

In a deep pan or fryer, heat some vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To check if it's hot enough, drop a tiny bit of batter into the oil. If it bubbles and comes up to the surface, the oil is ready for frying.

5. Coat and Fry the Chicken:

Dip each marinated chicken piece into the batter to make sure it's covered nicely. Gently put these coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, a few at a time, so they have space to cook. Fry them until they turn a lovely golden brown and become crispy, which usually takes around 5-7 minutes for each batch.

6. Remove and Add Some Flavor:

Use a slotted spoon to take the chicken pakoras out of the oil and put them on a plate with paper towels to soak up extra oil. If you like, you can sprinkle fresh curry leaves on top for even more flavor.

7. Serve While They're Hot:

Chicken pakoras taste the best when they're hot and crispy. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, like mint chutney or tamarind sauce.

Enjoy the crispy and delicious homemade chicken pakoras! They're a perfect snack for get-togethers or a tasty treat just for yourself. You might be surprised how quickly they disappear – they're that good!
