    Chicken Pakora, FAQ's

    Can chicken pakora be reheated?

    Chicken pakoda always goes well when served hot. You can reheat but you may lose the crispiness of the pakora. So my advice would be it tastes best when served hot and hence avoid reheating.

    Can you cook chicken pakora from frozen chicken?

    A big yes. You can use frozen chicken for the Pakora. Thaw the chicken and bring it to room temperature. And then dip in the batter and deep fry.

    Does chicken pakora contain gluten

    Since we use only Rice flour and Chickpea Flour in the chicken pakoda. Both the flours are gluten-free and hence Chicken pakora is gluten-free.

    Does chicken pakora contain dairy

    Chicken pakoda is dairy-free. We are not using any dairy products in the pakoda batter.

    How to Prepare Chicken Pakoda

    1.    In a mixing bowl add in Gram Flour, Rice flour.

    2. Next add in Red Chilli powder, Coriander powder, Garam Masala, and Turmeric powder and Salt.

     3.  Then add in the ginger garlic paste

    4. Mix everything roughly it will resemble crumbs. Next, add in the egg white from 1 egg.

    5.    Mix everything with little water from a little thick batter. The consistency should be such that if you dip the chicken in batter it should coat it. Finally, add in Cooking Soda and combine everything.

     6. Clean and chop the chicken into small cube-sized pieces. I prefer using boneless chicken pieces.    

    7.    Now add the boneless chicken pieces to the prepared batter. Meanwhile, heat oil for deep frying. Add in Curry Leaves and green chili fry for a minute and set them aside, it gives a nice flavor to the oil.

    8.    Next add in the batter coated chicken pieces and fry them in medium heat till its golden brown and fully cooked.

    9. Chicken pakora is ready. Drain in paper towels to remove excess oil.

    Perfect for a party. Goes well just by itself or can be had with tomato ketchup.
