Fritters Ingredients
Method
Fritters Preparation
Prepare the Paneer
Cut the paneer into small cubes or rectangles, about 1-inch in size.
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well. Gradually add water to form a smooth batter that can coat the paneer pieces.
Add Coriander
Fold in the chopped coriander leaves into the batter.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
Fry the Fritters
Dip each paneer piece into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered paneer into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Drain and Serve
Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with mint chutney or ketchup.
