Ingredients

  • 700 g Chicken Strips
  • 200 g Gram Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Chilli Flakes
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 tsp Coriander Seeds crushed
  • 1 tbsp Dried Fenugreek
  • 1 Egg
  • 200 ml Water

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients except the chicken into a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything together until a smooth batter forms.
  • The batter should be thick enough to coat the chicken but still slightly pourable. If it feels too thick, add a small splash of water and mix again.
  • Add the chicken strips to the bowl and mix well so each piece is evenly coated in the batter.
  • Heat a deep pan or wok with enough oil for deep frying over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
  • Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil one at a time to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Fry the chicken for about 3–4 minutes on medium heat until the batter begins to set and turn lightly golden.
  • Turn the chicken strips over and continue frying for another 3–4 minutes until the pakora strips are crisp, golden, and the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Remove the chicken pakora strips with a slotted spoon and place them on kitchen paper to drain any excess oil before serving.
