In Ramadan this year (2012) my husband brought chicken pakoras from Islamabad’s famous bakery Tehzeeb. They were no doubt very tasty but very oily. I can’t eat full of oil things , so i decided to make these at home , batter recipe i took from” dal sabzi cooking show” ,in which chef used this batter for pakora frying . Chicken marinade i experimented myself …the end result was so close to original .
