how to make paneer pakora

Paneer pakora is a popular snack in Indian cuisine, commonly enjoyed across South Asia. Sold on streets and in restaurants, this deep-fried treat is made with paneer (Indian cottage cheese) and is loved for its crispy exterior and soft, moist center. The key ingredients include vegetables, gram flour (besan), spices, and onions. Variations of pakoras feature other vegetables like potatoes, eggplant, cauliflower, spinach, and mixed veggies.

Paneer pakora, in particular, is a quick and delicious snack, ideal for evening tea or coffee breaks. It is typically served with spicy chutneys or ketchup. The preparation involves coating paneer cubes in a spiced gram flour batter and frying them until golden brown. There are also creative variations, like chutney sandwich paneer pakoras, where spicy chutney is layered between paneer slices before they are coated in batter and deep-fried to perfection.

For those looking for an even richer option, cheese pakoras are also a must-try! Both paneer and cheese pakoras make for perfect party starters or quick evening snacks. These pakoras are especially convenient when unexpected guests arrive or when your family craves a quick, savory bite, as they require minimal preparation.
