Chicken Pakora is a popular South Asian snack originating from Indian cuisine, known for its crispy texture and bold flavors. It consists of bite-sized chicken pieces marinated in a mixture of spices, ginger, garlic, and lemon juice, then coated in a batter made from gram flour (besan) and deep-fried until golden. The dish is typically seasoned with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, offering a robust flavor profile. While Chicken Pakora provides protein from the chicken, it's a high-calorie dish due to the deep frying method, which adds significant fat content. The use of gram flour contributes some nutritional value, including fiber and plant-based protein. Pairing Chicken Pakora with a fresh salad or serving it in moderation can help balance the indulgence. Despite its occasional role as a treat, its vibrant spices may also offer potential health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory properties.
