Make the Batter – In a bowl, whisk together plain flour, cornflour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, white pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Dip each patty in the dry batter first and shake off the excess flour. Add cold water to the dry batter to make it medium consistency batter.
Frying the Chicken patties- Heat vegetable oil in a pan and preheat it. Dip patties in batter and drop it in oil. Fry on medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
