     These pakoras are an absolute delight to have it as an evening tea time snacks. Also try out kadai chicken which are filling snacks recipes for the evenings.

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 they are marinated with corn flour, maida, egg, food color and mixed well..

I tell you this is the best chicken pakora that has even been made by me and tastes more than delicious.

The chicken starters when deep fried or barbecued have to be deep fried well in order to let the whole flavors of the ingredients that are added to be absorbed 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...

Different method of making chicken pakoda with besan: 

This below video is another pakora recipe made with chicken which is slightly different from the earlier one... Do check this video out to know more about this second style of making this chicken starter.

In this above video, I have used besan or chick pea flour as the coating to the chicken along with marinating with spices, corn flour 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 recipe where it is mixed with some spices and flour and deep fried in oil, which are perfect to enjoy in a bachelor party or a gathering with friends or kitty parties or during evenings...

Chicken pakoda can be made in various versions and here I would like to share two versions of making chicken pakoda which are absolutely delicious in taste and can be made any time of the day like they can be served 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. I have posted recipes for some of the pakodas on the blog.

                   I have been longing to make these tea time snacks and I thought if winters are going on in India, then 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 as 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 and in andhra style and this pakoda recipe is made all over India with many variations...

               There are many chicken dry or fry recipes and here chicken is deep fried and not stir fried. This is made with boneless chicken and all the snack recipes or chicken deep fried recipes should be made with boneless.

Perfect recipe below with pics and video:

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

FAQ'S FOR THE RECIPE:

What is my chicken pakoda made of ?

This pakoda is made by marinating small boneless chicken pieces with maida, corn flour and egg along with dry spices and herbs in the marination.

The boneless chicken pieces are the deep fried in oil.

Can the same directions be used for veg pakoras?

Yes, there are certain veggies such as cabbage, cauliflower where this recipe direction works well and egg can be skipped if not a preferred choice.

Can we add baking soda to this marination as done for veg pakorsa?

It is not advisable to add baking soda here as this is a non veg pakora and does not require to use such ingredients and have made it in a different version which is used a starter or as snacks.

Using baking soda uses lot of oil to deep fry and to minimize the oil usage avoid this ingredient.

Can this recipe be mentioned as healthy?

Since this is a deep fried recipe which uses a lot of oil, it is better to avoid with patients suffering from any sort of health issues such as obesity or heart related issues. As this recipe uses maida too which is not good for such patients.

A moderate consumption is fine but excess eating of depe fried stuff should be prevented for better health conditions.
