Ingredients
- 8 tablespoon (100 g) gram flour
- 4 tablespoon (50 g) cornflour or rice flour or a mix of both
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
- 1.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1.5 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.25 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon dried fenugreek kasoori methi
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 2.5 tablespoon freshly chopped coriander leaf
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 green chillies sliced finely
- 1.1 lb (½ kg) raw chicken cut into bite-sized pieces
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the oil and chicken.
- Add in cold water, a very small amount at a time, mixing each time until the mixture becomes thick and resembles PVA glue. If in doubt, keep things on the drier side.
- Mix in the chicken pieces
- Preheat some oil in a frying pan or karahi.
- Once the oil is hot, drop in some pieces of chicken, ensuring you don't overcrowd the pan. Turn them over a few times whilst they fry, to ensure they brown evenly. Once the pakoras become golden brown, remove using a slotted spoon and drain over a colander lined with tissue before serving immediately.
