Chicken Pakoda Recipe
Pakora, for the unversed, are batter-fried fritters which can be made from anything, including vegetables like potatoes and onions to chicken and meat. Chicken pakora is one such popular fritter in the Indian food market. The origins of this dish find place in the same kitchens that have given the world, the delicious butter chicken. Kundan Lal Gujarl moved to Old Delhi's Daryaganj area to set up shop after Partition. His legacy at the restaurant he was running in Peshawar has given us tandoori chicken and several other popular dishes. It was during that time that he realised that there was no fried item on his menu that could be eaten as a snack. That is when he dipped the chicken pieces into the tandoori chicken masala and batter-fried it in hot oil. That's how chicken pakora came into being. A popular indian appetiser made with marinaed boneless chicken, chicken pakora is a crunchy, crispy snack filled with amazing spices.
