Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Paneer
- 4 tablespoons Gram flour (besan)
- 2 tablespoons Cornflour
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 250 ml Oil
Instructions
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the gram flour, cornflour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt.
Add ginger-garlic paste and lemon juice to the dry ingredients.
Gradually add water to the mixture while stirring continuously to form a thick, smooth batter.
Ensure the batter has no lumps and is of coating consistency.
Dip each paneer cube into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the batter-coated paneer pieces into the oil.
Fry the paneer pieces in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Remove the fried paneer with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with mint chutney or tomato ketchup.
