  15. Coriander leaves- 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped

Method

1.In a bowl add chicken cubes and chopped onions.

Add ginger garlic paste, chopped coriander leaves and all the spices.

Add rice flour and besan to it and add salt to taste. Now mix everything well until well combined.

Do not add any water, just mix with your hands and make a batter. The moisture of chicken and onions is enough to make a batter. If its too dry then add little water and mix the batter.

Heat oil in a kadhai. Wet your hands and take small dollops of pakoda, make a smooth ball and gently drop it in the oil and fry on low to medium flame till it turns golden brown.

Chicken pakodas are ready, serve hot with ketchup, chutney or your favorite dips
