Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Paneer
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Cut the paneer into approximately 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, crack the egg and whisk it thoroughly.
Add almond flour, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the whisked egg. Mix well to form a smooth batter.
Dip each paneer cube into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the battered paneer cubes into the pan without overcrowding it.
Fry the paneer cubes on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the paneer cubes from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the low-carb paneer fried hot with a side of mint chutney or a dip of your choice.
