Preparation:

To begin, gather the following ingredients:

500 grams of boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup chickpea flour (besan)

2 tablespoons rice flour

1 teaspoon ginger paste

1 teaspoon garlic paste

1 teaspoon red chili powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon garam masala

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

Salt to taste

Water (as needed)

Oil for deep frying

Method:

In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, ginger paste, garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin seeds, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth batter.

Gradually add water to the batter, stirring continuously, until you achieve a thick consistency that coats the chicken pieces.

Add the chicken pieces to the batter and ensure they are well coated. Let the chicken marinate in the batter for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the marinated chicken pieces into the oil, a few at a time.

Fry the chicken pakoras until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a kitchen towel to absorb any excess oil.

Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken pieces until all are cooked.
