Cheeken pakoras are a popular South Asian snack made by coating bite-sized pieces of chicken in a spiced gram flour (besan) batter and deep-frying them until golden and crispy. The batter is typically seasoned with a mix of spices such as turmeric, chili powder, cumin, coriander, and sometimes ajwain (carom seeds), giving the pakoras a flavorful and aromatic profile. The chicken is often marinated beforehand with ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and additional spices to enhance the taste. Once fried, the pakoras are crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside. They're usually served with green chutney, tamarind sauce, or ketchup, and are a favorite tea-time snack, especially during the rainy season or festive occasions.
