Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Serve the paneer pakodas hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce. They are best enjoyed fresh and crispy!
