-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ingredients:
----------------

1. 1 cup gram flour (besan)
2. 1.5 cup oil for deep frying
3. 6 tbsp corn flour
4. 6 tbsp refined flour
5. 5 to 6 bread sliced into four pieces Or into 2 pieces
6. 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
7. 1 tbsp baking powder
8. 1/2 tbsp coriander seed powder
9. 1/2 tbsp turmeric powder
10. 1/2 tbsp cumin seed powder

13. 1 tbsp garam masala powder
14. 1/2 t/s asofoetida (hing)
15. 1/2 t/s raw mango powder Or lime juice
16. rock salt/ salt as per taste
17. 1 green chili chopped
18. 1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves
19. 1/2 onion finely chopped
20. 7 to 8 tbsp water

Method:
--------------

Slit bread into 2 pieces Or into triangular shape. Keep them aside.

Take a mixing bowl. Mix all the ingredients except oil and water. Lastly add 2 tbsp oil and water. Beat this mixture with a spoon. Ensure no lumps are formed.

The batter should be of thick consistency. If your batter is thin add some more flour to it.

Place a frying pan with oil on medium heat. Allow the oil to get hot.

Dip sliced bread into the batter. Coat from all sides. Gently leave them in hot oil. Fry from both sides until nice golden brown in color.

Repeat the same with other sliced bread. Place them on tissue napkins to absorb excess oil.

Serve hot on a platter with chutney, sauce along with a hot cup of tea. I served my bread pakoras with garlic coconut chutney.

Tip:

• You could just use gram flour instead of corn flour and refined flour.
• You could use baking soda instead of baking powder.
• Another variation would be fry paneer Or tofu in the same batter instead of bread.
• Ensure once you frying the heat is on low mode else your pakoras wouldn’t fry properly inside.
• You could use any herb you want for these pakoras.
• If any batter remains don’t worry store them into fridge. Use this batter for frying pakoras next time…

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients:
-----------------

1. 500 gms boneless chicken small sized pieces
2. 200 ml hung curd Or hung yogurt
3. 1 tbsp cumin seed
4. 3 tbsp kashmiri red chili powder
5. 1 tbsp red chili powder
6. 1 tbsp cumin seed powder
7. 2 tbsp corn flour
8. 1 tbsp fennel seed powder
9. 1 t/s garam masala powder
10. 1 tbsp chicken masala powder
11. 1/2 t/s turmeric
12. 1 t/s chili powder
13. few chopped coriander leaves
14. few chopped mint leaves
15. few kasuri methi (dried feungreek leaves)
16. 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
17. 1 tbsp chat masala
18. 1 tbsp anardana powder
19. black salt as per taste

Garnishing:

1. few chopped coriander leaves
2. few mint leaves
3. onion cut into rounds for decoration

Equipment Required:

1. aluminium foil
2. microwave at convection mode
3. tooth pick
4. baking pan Or tray

Method:

-------------

Preheat oven at 220°C exactly 10 mins before baking. Place aluminium foil on the pan. This helps to induce heat and baking process. Firstly wash boneless chicken pieces and keep aside. Let’s prepare our marination. Combine 1 tbsp kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric, lime juice, black salt, cumin seed, chicken masala powder. Combine all nicely cover and keep aside for 30 to 40 mins.

Now mix hung curd with ginger-garlic paste, garam masala powder, combine kashmiri red chili powder, cumin seed powder, fennel seed powder, kasuri methi, coriander leaves, mint leaves, chat masala, anardana powder, rest of kashmiri chili powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder and salt. Combine nicely with a beater in a bowl until is nicely mixed.

Now rub this curd marination on the chicken piece. Sprinkle corn flour on it. Cover all nicely and keep aside into a freezer covered overnight Or for 3 to 4 hours. The longer the marination the better it is.

Take toothpick and insert into each chicken piece right at the center. Skewer all chicken pieces. Place the skewered chicken pieces at a one inch space from each other on the aluminium foil. Don’t cluster too many chicken at one go. Spread the marinated batter if any remaining. I spent 2 hours making tandoori chicken in oven. As my oven is small hence small tray.

Bake in oven at 220°C for 7 to 9 mins until its cooked and slightly brown.

Remove the skewers sprinkle some lime juice, chat masala, chopped coriander-mint leaves, onion ringlets and tandoori chicken chutney. Serve hot with naan.

Tip:
------
Don’t overbake as the chicken will get dried out and juices will evaporate.
You can add 2 tbsp black pepper it becomes Peppered Tandoori Chicken.
It’s important to preheat the oven before baking chicken.
If you are using medium sized chicken ensure yo prick them with fork then marinate. As this process will help the marination to penetrate better in the chicken'
