Chicken Pakora Recipe

Tender chicken marinated in a blend of fragrant spices, then coated in a chickpea flour-based batter for that signature mild nutty taste. This Chicken Pakora is then fried until beautifully golden and crisp.

The simplest Indian chicken fritter you will ever cook is crispy, spicy, and delicious. A delicious gluten-free chicken appetizer that only takes 15 minutes to prepare! This chicken meal is perfect for you if you really enjoy afternoon snacks.

Chicken pieces that have been marinated, dipped in a fiery batter, then deep-fried to a beautiful golden perfection. To enjoy the meaty crispiness, dip them in ketchup, yoghurt dip, or mint chutney.

Serving Suggestions

I like to serve chicken pakora for evening snacks with coriander mint chutney or sweet tamarind chutney, but you can serve it with any dip of your choice.

Some of my other favorite dips are sweet chilli sauce, green goddess mayonnaise, plain mayonnaise, and tomato ketchup.

Freezing Suggestions

Yes, cook the pakoras, then cool, cover, and freeze. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat as per the make-ahead instructions above.
