street style chicken pakora / quick crispy chicken pakoda

This street style chicken pakora is a sinful snack that you will become obsessive for the juicy chicken and crunch in each bite. Chicken pakora can be made easily at home and many have their own method of making this with different ingredients. But this recipe that I have shared is the simplest recipe that anybody can make and enjoy. You can marinate minimum 15 minutes even for an hour if you have time. I have marinated it for 30 minutes and that was enough for the spices to get incorporated and yields the best chicken in the world. I have added some rice flour to get the crispy texture. Adding curry leaves gives an excellent flavour and taste to this fry. Don’t make the batter too thick

or too thin it should just coat the chicken pieces and that’s enough. I have used Kashmiri red chilli powder for the colour you can use regular chilli powder according to your spice need. Cook chicken in medium high heat you should be adjusting the flame while cooking. Otherwise if the flame is high then the chicken will not be cooked from the inside and browns quickly on the outside.Do try this street style chicken pakora / quick crispy chicken pakoda and enjoy.
