    Chicken Pakora Recipe or this Crispy Chicken Pakoda Street Style is a popular Indian Snack. It is made with boneless chicken pieces marinated with spices and flours. It surely makes a sinful party starter or evening snack.

    Not only is this Crispy Chicken pakoda very easy to make at home, you will fine street vendors selling this in streets of Madras. I don't know about now, however, before COVID it was a regular scene when you pass through the market place.

    We have a market place close by that we pass by sometimes. It's a crowded place so we try to avoid it mostly. However, when we do pass by, we see all sorts of popular street food sold like the Masala Vada, Medu Vada, Onion Bajji, Urulaikizhangu Bajji, Vazhakai Bajji, Urulai Kilangu Bonda and for the Non Vegetarians, snacks like Chicken 65, Chicken Pakoda. Chilli Chicken Dry are so popular.

    We are on the final week of BM#123 and this week, I have decided to do One Ingredient three ways. My chosen ingredient is chicken and will be sharing three different chicken dishes that are my kids favorite.

    As it must be obvious, this Chicken Pakoda was a total hit with my kids and I have made it multiple times already. So do try and enjoy!

    You can try this easy and simple chicken fry as well!

      Your description of market place just took me back to Chennai and how I enjoyed shopping there :-)! Coming to street vendors, unfortunately my parents never allowed us to buy anything from them as they were worried about the quality of food. Once we grew up, we used to buy from street vendors once in a while. The pakodas look yum and for you, they are so loaded with memories too 🙂

      This reminds me of street-side pakora. This is a favorite with my kids. Love how you have added freshly grounded spices to chicken pakora. Trying your method next time.
