how to make Palak chicken dry pakoda recipe
1.Take chicken in a mixing bowl cut to bite sized pieces and add ginger garlic paste.
2. Along with ginger garlic paste, add turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, chilli powder, pepper powder, salt and lemon juice.
4. furthermore, add corn flour and rice flour.
5. finely chop spinach/palak and put them in bowl along with chicken. mix it up well.
6. sprinkle little water if needed and mix it up to a tight mix.
7. In another mixing bowl, take gram flour. In a blender, take palak, green chillies and grind them finely. add the green paste to the gram flour.
8. also add chat masala, garam masala and salt to taste.
9. Mix it lump free, smooth and thick batter. batter consistency has to be like the bajji bonda consistency.
10. meanwhile, take the chicken pieces one at a time and drop it in the green batter. coat it thoroughly on all sides.
11. drop the coated chicken piece in bread crumbs/rusk powder. I generally prefer to powder the sweet rusk as it gives a slight sweet taste to the outer crust. Keep all the pieces ready. If time permits, you can freeze them for an hour.
12. drop the pieces one by one in medium hot oil. Oil should not be too hot. If too hot, then outer crust will brown but chicken will not be cooked properly. so make sure the oil is not too hot.
13. Fry until golden crisp. strain it to a paper towel. serve hot!
14. serve the crispy palak chicken fry hot with tomato sauce.
