Paneer cubes (big) 14 pieces Green chutney as needed Besan | kadalaimaavu| Gram flour 1 cup Rice flour 2 tblsp Ajwain | omam 1/2 tsp Red chili powder 1 tsp Oil for deep frying Baking soda a pinch Salt as needed Video of how to make paneer pakora
Sieve the gram flour, this is to avoid any lumps.
In a bowl add the gram flour, rice flour, red chili powder, ajwain, salt and a pinch of baking soda.
Add water and mix well to bring it to a medium thick batter consistency.
Keep it aside. Bring the paneer to room temperature. Slit the paneer and apply green chutney on both sides. Repeat this for the rest of the paneer cubes.
Alternatively you can skip this step and just dip this in batter and make pakora. Since paneer will be bit bland i want to add some chutney. Heat oil and add 1 tblsp of hot oil to the batter and mix well. Dip the sandwiched paneer in the batter and place it into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Keep the flame medium. Cook on both sides till they become golden brown.
Take out from oil. Drain in a kitchen towel. Repeat the same for the rest of the paneer pieces.
Sprinkle some chaat masala on the top while serving. Serve hot with ginger tea.
