Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Paneer
- 50 grams Chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 50 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 100 ml Oil for frying
Instructions
Cut the paneer into cubes, approximately 1-inch in size, and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt.
Add lemon juice and gradually add water to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a smooth batter, slightly thicker than pancake consistency.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat.
Dip each paneer cube into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
Carefully place the coated paneer cubes into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the paneer cubes until they are golden brown on all sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove them from the oil.
Place the fried paneer on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot as a snack or a part of a main meal, accompanied by your favorite chutney.
