How to Make Easy Chicken Pakora
- In a mixing bowl, toss the boneless chicken pieces with salt and all the spices, including lemon juice. Let them marinate for 30 minutes to soak in all those vibrant flavors.
- In another bowl, combine gram flour, corn flour, and rice flour. Add the marinated chicken to the flour mixture, gradually adding water until you achieve a thick, smooth batter that coats the chicken well.
- In a frying pan, pour enough oil for deep frying and heat it over medium-high until shimmering.
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of the battered chicken into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 5-6 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through if necessary.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken pakoras using a slotted spoon and let them drain on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.

Notes
Serve hot with mint yogurt chutney or a spicy tamarind dip for an extra punch of flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
