Paneer Pakoda

Ingredients of Paneer Pakora

• 1 1/2 cup gram flour (besan)
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste
• 1/2 teaspoon thymol seeds
• 200 gm paneer

• 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
• salt as required
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger paste
• 1 green chilli
• 1 cup refined oil

How to make Paneer Pakora

• Step 1
  Cut the paneer in the shape of your choice. Sieve the gram flour with salt and red chili powder and add some water to make a thick batter.
• Step 2
  Now throw in the green chilies, add the carom seeds and the ginger and garlic paste. Mix well. Preferably beat the batter with a whisker. Allow it to rest for 20 minutes.
• Step 3
  Heat oil in a deep bottomed pan. Once smoke starts coming out of it, dip the paneer pieces in the batter and fry. Do not put more than two pieces at a time. Crowding the pan may lead to over cooking or incomplete cooking of the pakoras.
  
  Step 4
  
  Once the pakoras are fried from one side, flip and cook the other side. Remove from fire and place on an absorbent paper. Serve hot with green chutney.
