Title: Chicken Pakora
Post by: gazman1976 on February 08, 2016, 04:05 PM: 1 KILO bag CHICKEN BREASTS cut into strips or chunks
LAZIZA TANDOORI PASTE TO COAT.. 1 tbl spoon
1 teaspoon SPOON GARLIC PASTE
squirt LEMON JUICE
half TSP SALT
half TSP RED FOOD COLOURING POWDER
half TSP HOT CHILLI POWDER
half TSP coriander seeds
1 Egg
50 mili litres cold water
50 GRAMS GRAM FLOUR

Put all ingredients in the bowl and mix well

the mixture should be quite runny, if you use the above measurements you cannot go wrong

deep fry in any oil of your choice at about 160c for 5 minutes and the pakora has risen

Remove and eat or even re-fry the next day for 1 minute to re-heat.

this is now my perfect recipe for chicken pakora. will upload some pictures tonight.

Post by: Sverige on February 08, 2016, 05:54 PM: I might give this a go, but 1kg of pakora is a lot for one sitting and 1/10 of an egg is hard to find, so scaling down isn't an option.

Do they freeze and reheat ok?

Post by: Sverige on February 08, 2016, 10:34 PM: They look tasty. I've always thought of pakora as tiny bite size nuggets, but yours are a bit more like KFC sized pieces. Or maybe it's the size of that pic which is throwing me off.

Might give this a try this weekend. Do you ever use the fillet underneath the breast for pakora gazman?
It makes excellent pakora, but there's never enough of them.

Post by: JonG on January 14, 2018, 02:22 PM: Bit thumbs up for this recipe! I thought 50g of gram flour sounded low for 1kg of chicken, but it was quite ok. Thanks for the recipe Gazman!
