Chicken Pakora Curry

This is another one of those which brings a bit of variety to your curry realm. Pakoras are Indian fritters glorified recently in TV by an American chef who chose to cook them in the culinary show “Leftovers” in Netflix. Pakoras are relished in the Indian sub-continent as evening snacks and is mostly made of vegetables. Chicken Pakora is a popular snack in many parts of India too . This curry is just another Indian curry, but I have used chicken pakoras in it. It changes the whole dish as the batter from pakora softens and gets mixed with the curry and brings in a totally different taste. If you love your chicken curries , you gotta love this . Try it and let me know in the comments below .
