Crispy Paneer Pakoras

Savor the delightful crunch of crispy paneer pakoras, a popular Indian snack that pairs perfectly with chutney or tea. These golden-brown fritters are made with marinated paneer and a spiced chickpea flour batter, making them an irresistible treat.

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt. 2. Gradually add water to form a smooth batter, ensuring it is thick enough to coat the paneer. 3. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat for frying. 4. Dip each paneer cube into the batter, ensuring it's well-coated. 5. Carefully drop the battered paneer into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. 6. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. 7. Remove and drain on paper towels. 8. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with chutney or sauce.
