Desi Style Chicken Pakoda

This is one of my personal favorite Snacks. I love Chicken Pakoda, but not the ones prepared in restaurants. The Desi style made Chicken Pakoda, Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, that hit hard to the taste buds.

Let it be a snack on a Rainy evening with a cup of hot tea or coffee, or an appetizer for a weekend party, also when guests are in and want something to munch in!!! Dipped in green chutney and some ketchup, This quick bite is the king of snacks and loved by Everyone.
