Step 1
Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F — a cube of bread should turn golden in 60 seconds.
Step 2
Mix gram flour, yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, half the mint, and salt until thick and smooth.
Step 3
Coat chicken cubes in batter, shaking off excess, then slide into hot oil in batches.
Step 4
Fry 4-5 minutes per batch until deep golden brown and a skewer slides through easily.
Step 5
Drain on paper towels while you stir remaining mint into yogurt with a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Serve pakora hot with mint yogurt and ketchup for dipping.
