Chicken Pakora Recipe:
Pakoras are a traditional South Asian dish mainy popular in India,Bangladesh,Nepal,Pakistan and Srilanka .Chicken pokara is one of my husbands favorite snack and I often cook it for him.For the batter I use gram flour but I you can certainly use corn flour as well for the same purpose .Amchoor or dried mango powder is used as a souring agent in these pakoras and it can be found in most of the Asian grocery stores but in case you can't find it there don't use it.I like spicy food so I have used a little amount of red chili and cumin powder in the batter,but if you are not a big fan of spices do not add these spices :) .Traditionally chicken pakora is served hot as a snack or starter with mint Chutney.
