                                                         Paneer is my daughters favourite!!She loves it in any form Paneer butter masala,Muttar paneer,paneer makhani or any other dish.Most of all she loves fried pakoras and when it is paneer pakoras you don't have to ask.Today her friend is coming over for lunch to our house so i made these pakoras as starters.


You will Need
  • 3 blocks of Paneer
  • One cup Gram flour
  • Half cup Rice flour
  • One tsp Chiil powder
  • Pinch of Soda
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil to Deep fry

How to


  • Mix gram flour,rice flour,chilli powder,salt and soda  with water to a smooth paste.


    • Cut the paneer into slices into desired shapes and sizes.


    • Heat oil in a deep pan Dip the paneer pieces in the batter make sure the paneer is well coated on all sides well.Drop it in hotoil and fry till golden brown on all sides.Take it out on a tissue paper and drain the oil.

    • Fry them in batches of 4 or 5.After you drop the pakoras in  hot oil fry them in medium flame.

    • you can marinate the paneer with some lemon juice and salt for a while.
    • you can slit the paneer and apply some garlic and chilli sauce like in a sandwich and then dip batter and deep fry.
