Chicken Pakoda / Chicken fritter’s (Very Easy and Quick)

This blog was set to collect my family recipes or the food we would like to eat from recipes shared by friends, neighbor’s etc...when I told the same to my mom, she was like are you sure, and gave me the best advise ever start with things simple and easy, once u get a hang of it, u can go to recipes which need lot more preparation. Good advice

It was raining the past few days...reminded me of my day back at home when mom made different pakoda's...was in the mood to eat chicken pakoda..Mind u mom and grandma(maternal) made many varieties...This is one of the most easiest and yet very flavorful, very good for entertaining too as you will have a dish made in a jiffy and I am sure people will ask you for the recipe.
