Step by Step method to make scrumptious Paneer Pakora

Step 1

Chop paneer into equal-sized cubes or dice it into any shape of your choice. On the other side, mix the besan or gram flour with red chilli powder and salt. Pour water in it to make it into a thick batter. 

Step 2

Add finely chopped green chillies in the batter, along with ginger paste, garlic paste and carom seeds. Whisk the batter and make sure that the lumps are not formed. Keep the batter aside for about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Pick out a pan with deep bottom and heat refined oil in it. Observe when it is warm enough to fry something well, which you will get to know by its smoke. Dip diced paneer cubes into the batter. After they are fully covered softly pour one or two in the heated oil.

Sprinkle chaat masala or peri-peri masala to your prepared Pakoras. Serve them hot with piping hot chai and chutney of your choice. You can also use plain or Tandoori mayonnaise to accentuate the taste.
