Pat the chicken cubes dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the plain yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, chopped green chili, ground spices, and salt. Mix thoroughly so every piece of chicken is coated.
Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
Add the sliced onion and gram flour to the marinated chicken. Mix well, squeezing the onions lightly to release some moisture.
Add the water gradually while mixing until a thick, sticky coating forms around the chicken. The batter should cling to the pieces without dripping.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wide, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles immediately.
Add the coated chicken in small batches, keeping the pieces separated. Shallow-fry for 4–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp, deep golden, and cooked through to an internal temperature of 74°C.
Transfer the cooked pakodas to a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil. Allow the oil to return to temperature before frying the next batch.
Serve the Classic Crispy Chicken Pakoda immediately while hot and crisp.
