Ajwaini murgh pakode

 I just bought  season 1 Master Chef India winner Pankaj Bhadouria’s cookery book last week.It has eye catching pictures with excellent recipes of all the  Master chef anchor chefs recipe’s.So my daughter suggested me to try Ajwaini Murgh Pakode.Ajwaini Murgh Pakode is nothing but carom-seed flavoured chicken bites.So after our routine evening badminton play I fried this pakode for the hungry stomach’s and within fraction of few minutes there were only empty plates.
