Steps

50 minutes

1

For the chicken
2

Place boneless chicken in a bowl. Add all the ingredients mentioned in the chicken part of the ingredients. Mix through and keep in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
3

For the gram flour / chickpea flour / besan batter
4

Place gram flour (besan) in a bowl. Add salt, coriander powder, red chilli powder, crushed coriander seeds, pomegranate seeds (if using) and salt. Stir the mixture dry with a whisk or fork. Add water a few tablespoons at a time while whisking till a smooth batter is created. It should be thick enough to coat the chicken, but not super thick. If adjustment is required, add more gram flour (besan) or water accordingly.
5

Dip the boneless chicken pieces in the chickpea batter, shaking off the excess batter and then add in the hot oil. Add the rest of the pieces and fry till golden brown on both sides. Make sure the chicken is cooked through from inside – you can cut open a pakora to double check.
6

Garnish with chaat masala. Serve with green chutney or tomato sauce.

Cooking is a necessity for everyone. Everyone in their life time needs to learn how to cook because cooking makes food taste better. Without cooking, everyone would eat raw fruits, vegetables etc. I am still learning how to cook but I consider it my hobby
