Indian cuisine is full of lip-smacking dishes for our many moods and occasions. But you’d have to agree that one of our favourite Indian dishes that the whole country loves is pakoras. When we think of a quick yet delectable snacking choice, the first thing that springs to the mind is crunchy, spicy pakoras.
We can proudly say that pakoras originated in India. Among all kinds of pakoras, chicken pakora holds a special place in our hearts. Pakoras make for delightful evenings and warm family gatherings. Made from marinated chicken covered in chickpea flour and deep-fried till golden brown, it’s one of the best Indian dishes to include as part of your Iftar menu.
No matter how well we plan an iftar party, serving homemade delicacies can be quite challenging due to our busy schedules.

- Place the pakoras in a bowl after removing them from the packet.
- To freshen the marinade, toss and massage the chicken.
- Preheat a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Pour in enough oil to thoroughly cover the pieces.
- Preheat the oil to 180 °C. It should not be too hot that the oil begins to smoke, nor should it be too cool that the chicken soaks up all of the oil.
- To test, drop a piece of pakora into the oil; if it sizzles, you’re on the right track.
- When the oil is heated enough, gently lower the pakoras into it one at a time.
- Remember not to drop the pakoras in the oil since it may splash onto your hand.
- Gently stir the pieces in the oil, turning them over regularly until they are golden brown on both sides.
- Once cooked, carefully transfer the pakoras to a paper towel with a slotted spoon.
- Allow the pakoras to rest for a few minutes after cooking.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges and kachumber sprinkled with chaat masala.
