Chicken Pakoras are a popular snack from Indian cuisine, celebrated for their crispy texture and flavorful blend of spices. This dish features bite-sized chicken pieces marinated in a mixture of gram flour, yogurt, and a medley of aromatic spices, such as turmeric, cumin, and chili powder. The marinated chicken is then deep-fried to perfection, resulting in golden, crunchy bites with juicy, tender interiors. While Chicken Pakoras are high in protein thanks to the chicken, they are also fried, which can contribute to higher calorie and fat content. However, when enjoyed in moderation, they offer a satisfying option enriched with bold flavors and minimal use of refined carbohydrates. To lighten the dish, some variations use an air fryer or bake the pakoras. These make for a delicious party appetizer, a teatime snack, or an accompaniment to a traditional Indian meal.
