Also, marinated with cornflour, maida, egg, and food color and mixed well.

Step by Step procedure

• Firstly, take a bowl into it and add boneless chicken pieces. Wash the boneless chicken, strain them well so that no water remains, and the masala absorbs well into the chicken.

• Add salt into it as per taste, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and ginger garlic paste.

• Also, add black peppercorn powder and garam masala powder.

• Then goes finely chopped green chillies.

• Now add finely chopped coriander leaves.

• In this step, add finely chopped curry leaves.

• A little amount of lemon extract.

• Around a tablespoon or two of maida/all-purpose flour

• Another flour to add is corn flour.

• Also, add red food color and egg into it. The egg is beaten here, and I am using the white and yellow parts of the egg.

• Mix everything well, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 min to 1 hour to help the chicken absorb all the ingredients.

• Heat oil for frying. Heat it hot enough to fry them well.

• Add the chicken pieces into the oil carefully and deep fry them.

• Stir the chicken pieces up and down while frying so that they fry nicely on all sides and taste even.

• Remove the fried chicken pieces from the oil using a filter.

• Place tissue paper on a plate and serve the chicken pieces on them. This helps absorb the oil from the chicken thoroughly.
• Serve hot!!!

Storage

These snacks are best to eat in a day as it contains chicken and cannot be stored for a long time.

If the weather is good and cold, they can last well for a day as the chicken tends to spoil quickly. They can last up to 24 hours; it is a deep-fried snacks.

Try to serve it as a snack or starter or just with any main course meal as a side dish.

I suggest not using it the next day as the chicken spoils too quickly at room temperature.

Any meat snack is not suitable to store for long as other besan or maida snacks. Therefore, make them fresh and have them fresh.

Can we add baking soda to this marination as done for veg pakoras?

It is not advisable to add baking soda here as this is a nonveg pakora and does not require using such ingredients and have made it in a different version used as a starter or as a snack.
Using baking soda uses a lot of oil to deep fry, and to minimize the oil usage avoid this ingredient.
