Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
-
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously, until you achieve a smooth batter with a coating consistency. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.
-
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. While the oil is heating, gently place the paneer cubes into the batter, making sure each cube is thoroughly coated.
-
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the batter-coated paneer cubes into the oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the pakodas until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides.
-
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried paneer pakodas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve the paneer pakodas hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce. They are best enjoyed fresh and crispy!
