Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Paneer

    Cut the paneer into finger-sized strips and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Gradually add water to form 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 paneer strip into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated. Carefully place the coated paneer fingers into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once golden, remove the paneer fingers and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with chutney or sauce.
