Step 1
Cut chicken into 1.5-inch bite-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Mix chickpea flour, garam masala, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper in a bowl.
Step 3
Add 6 tbsp water to flour mixture and stir until you have a thick, sticky batter that coats a spoon.
Step 4
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (or until a small piece of batter sizzles immediately).
Step 5
Dip chicken pieces in batter, working in batches, and fry 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Stir Greek yogurt with chopped mint, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon. Serve alongside hot pakora.
