Ingredients:
400 grams paneer (Indian cottage cheese), cut into cubes or slices
1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
2 tablespoons rice flour (optional, for extra crispiness)
1/2 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain)
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 Baking soda
1/4 Baking powder
3 - 4 chopped green chilies
Chopped coriander
Salt to taste
Water, as needed
Oil for frying
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour (if using), carom seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, green chilies, coriander, baking soda , baking powder and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously, until you have a smooth, thick batter consistency.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai over medium heat.
Dip each paneer cube or slice into the batter, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Carefully drop the coated paneer into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the paneer pakoras until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once done, remove the pakoras from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
Serve hot with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or ketchup.
Enjoy your crispy and delicious Paneer Pakoras as a snack or appetizer!
