Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Paneer

    Cut the paneer into bite-sized cubes or slices and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Gradually add water to make a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Coat and Fry

    Dip each piece of paneer in the batter, ensuring it is well-coated. Carefully place the coated paneer pieces in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried paneer pakoras from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with chutney or sauce of choice.
