BV, I make it the same way, pretty much. I was going to suggest adding an egg too.
I also marinate the chicken in the besan paste for 30-45 minutes so the flavours soak in.

do you boil the chicken before coating it w/ the besan? I would think the chicken won't be properly cooked when dumped in the deep fryer

Rukhsar - you do not need to boil the chicken if you small pieces of boneless chicken.

If I can resist eating up the pakoray then I make Chicken Manchurian
