Equipment

1 Kadhai
1 Induction Cooktop

Ingredients

350-400 g Chicken boneless
2 Onions medium
1 tbsp Ginger paste
1½ tbsp Garlic paste
2 Green Chilis or according to heat tolerance
2 tbsp Coriander leaves Chopped
1 tsp Lime Juice
½ cup Besan Gram flour; if needed add more
3 tbsp Rice flour or corn flour
1 tsp Black Pepper powder
1 tsp Kashmiri Red Chili powder
½ tsp Turmeric powder
1 tsp Garam Masala powder
1 pinch Baking Soda
Chaat Masala
Salt to taste
Vegetable oil

Instructions

Prepare the chicken pieces

First, wash the chicken and cut it into 2-2 ½ inch pieces (or according to your liking).
Next, transfer it into a large mixing bowl and add lime juice and a bit of oil.
Mix well and refrigerate it for about 2 hours. This will make the chicken much softer.

Prepare the veggies and paste

While the chicken is resting, blend the ginger, garlic, and green chilis into a fine paste.
Chop the onions and the coriander leaves and keep aside.

Coat the chicken pieces

After the resting time, take the chicken out of the fridge, and, add the ginger, garlic, and green chili paste.
Mix well. Add the onions and coriander leaves.
Combine well and to this add the besan (gram flour), rice flour (or corn starch), baking soda, black pepper powder, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, garam masala, and salt to taste.
Start to mix them nicely.
Add splashes of water as needed. Do not make the batter too watery. It should have a semi-thick consistency that will coat the chicken pieces well.
Keep them aside.

Fry the chicken pieces

Next, take a kadhai or a deep-frying pan and add oil.
Let the oil heat until it smokes.
Keep the flame on medium and then gently lower the coated chicken into the oil.
Fry them from all sides until they turn golden brown. Make sure not to burn them.
Do this in batches and then transfer them to a kitchen tissue-covered plate. This will soak off the extra oil from the pakoras.

Add chaat masala

After all the pakoras are fried put them into a mixing bowl and sprinkle chaat masala.
Toss them in the masala so that it coats the pakora evenly, before serving.
