About the recipe

In this snack recipe, I have marinated the chicken with spices such as salt, red chilli powder, Haldi powder, garam masala powder, ginger garlic paste and herbs such as coriander leaves, chopped curry leaves, chopped green chillies.

Also, marinated with cornflour, maida, egg, food colour and mixed well.

I tell you this is the best chicken pakora to make and tastes more than delicious.

While deep frying make sure to deep fry properly in order to let the whole flavours of the ingredients that are added absorb well. Followed by deep-frying gives a juicy and crispy taste to this chicken starter dish.

Here, I have shared two methods of making the pakoda, one is just the video and the other is with the video and the written post as well...

In this above video, I have used besan or chickpea flour as the coating to the chicken along with marinating with spices, cornflour and egg

I have also sprinkled some curry leaves and green chillies into the oil while deep frying and they give an amazing aroma to the deep-fried chicken pakodi.

Chicken Pakora is a simple snack recipe with some spices and flour and deep-fried in oil. This is the perfect snack to enjoy at a bachelor party or a gathering with friends or kitty parties or during evenings...

Chicken pakora can be made in various versions and here I would like to share two versions of making chicken pakora which is absolutely delicious in taste.

They are easy to make any time of the day and best to serve with dal recipes as side dishes or can be eaten as plain snacks.

Different kinds of pakora recipes

There are many various ways of making pakoda and pick any vegetable and we can make a pakoda out of it including paneer.

Pakoda can be made with all non-veg ingredients such as fish as well as they can be made with different veggies such as onion, tomatoes, green chilli, brinjal, cauliflower, cabbage, methi, palak and the list is never-ending.

I would like to upload every way of making pakoda as soon as I update with lots and lots of recipes on the blog and hopefully show my readers the practical methods of making with the help of a video too. Check out my posted recipes for some of the pakodas on the blog.

                   I decided to make these tea-time snacks for my blog and I thought this is the best time to make them and post this recipe.

             Having them as snacks with a hot cup of tea or one can have them as starters too... Some love to call it chicken pakodi or pakoda and they are crispy from outside when eaten hot and taste the best.

            South Indian regions prefer to make pakodas with chicken mainly in andhra region in Andhra style and this pakoda is a simple snack recipe to make across any region with many variations.

              I have made it with boneless chicken and all the snack recipes or chicken deep fried recipes taste best with boneless pieces.

Below is the actual version of making pakoda which is an amazing street style version of making it.

Step by Step procedure

• Firstly, take a bowl, into it add boneless chicken pieces. Wash the boneless chicken, strain them well so that no water remains and masala absorbs well to the chicken.

• Add salt into it as per taste, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste.

• Also add black pepper corn powder, garam masala powder.

• Then goes finely chopped green chillies.

• Now add finely chopped coriander leaves.

• In this step add finely chopped curry leaves.

• A little amount of lemon extract.

• Around a tablespoon or two of maida/all purpose flour

• Another flour to add is corn flour.

• Also add red food color and egg into it. The egg is beaten here and I am using both the white and yellow part of the egg.

• Mix everything well, cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 min to 1 hour to help the chicken absorb all the ingredients.

• Heat oil for frying. Heat it hot enough to fry them well.

• Add the chicken pieces into the oil carefully and deep fry them .

• Stir the chicken pieces up and down while frying so that they fry well on all sides and taste evenly.

• Remove the fried chicken pieces from oil using a strainer.

• Place a tissue paper on a plate and serve the chicken pieces on them. This helps absorb the oil from the chicken completely.
• Serve hot!!!

FAQ'S

Storage

These snacks are best to eat in a day as it contains chicken and cannot be stored for a long time. If the weather is good and cold then they can last well for a day as the chicken tends to spoil quickly. They can last up to 24 hours it is a deep-fried snack.

Try to serve it as a snack or starter or just with any main course meal as a side dish. My suggestion is to not use it the next day as the chicken spoils too quickly in room temperature.

Any meat snack is not suitable to store for long as other besan or maida snacks. Therefore, make them fresh and have them fresh.
