Chicken Pakoras are little deep-fried pieces of chicken that are bursting with the flavours of India. The trick is to fry the chicken first in our Tikka Masala Spice Paste, then batter and deep fry. These are really delish which is more suitable for your Iftar.
Ingredients
- Chicken breasts, chopped very small-1 large chicken breasts or use thighs.
- Onion, chopped small- ½ of one large onion
- Ginger-garlic paste- ½ tbsp
- Chili powder- ½ tsp
- Turmeric powder- ? tsp
- Garam masala- ½ tsp
- Fennel powder- 1 tsp (or use coriander powder)
- Ground pepper- ¼ tsp
- Salt- to taste
- Gram flour or besan or chick pea flour- ½ cup
- Cilantro, chopped- 2 handful
Instructions
Chop the chicken breasts very small. In a large bowl, combine the chicken along with the spices and cilantro. Add the gram flour to the chicken mix and combine well using your clean hand.
You don’t need to add water to combine the mixture, the moisture from the chicken will help to bind the flour and the chicken. Make small balls out of the mixture. Heat enough oil for deep frying in a frying pan.
Add the balls into the hot oil and fry over medium heat. Don’t crowd the balls.
Fry till the pakoras turn golden brown in color.
Transfer to a kitchen paper towel.
Serve warm with a cup of cardamom tea or coffee.
