Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Paneer
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 500 ml Oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Cut the paneer into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the dry ingredients along with the lemon juice and water. Mix to create a smooth batter.
Finely chop the cilantro and add it into the batter, stirring to incorporate.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be around 1-2 inches deep to ensure the pakodas can fry evenly on all sides.
Dip each paneer cube into the prepared batter, ensuring it is evenly coated, then carefully drop it into the hot oil.
Fry the pakodas until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to turn them occasionally for even frying.
Once cooked, remove the pakodas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly chutneys or sauces.
