• 14-16 slices paneer
• 1/2 cup besan
• 2 tbsp curd
• 1 pinch baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 tbsp corn starch
• 1 green chilli
• 1 tsp ginger paste
• Coriander

• To prepare paneer pakora, here are the steps you need to follow. Add the following ingredients to a mixing bowl: 2 tablespoons of yoghurt, four tablespoons of cornstarch, salt to half a teaspoon, ginger paste to 1 teaspoon, minced one green chilli pepper, and one tablespoon of chopped cilantro.
• This spice mixture shall serve as a marinating flavourful base for paneer.
• Mix all the ingredients well so that they form a smooth paste where all the flavours blend in well.
• When ready with the paste, add 14 to 16 pieces of paneer very gently so that each piece is well coated with the paste.
• The marinade plays a vital role as it not only enhances the flavour but also produces a delightfully crispy texture when fried.
• Let this paneer sit for at least an hour with all the marinating going on inside.
• The spices enter the paneer and get absorbed into its flavour. Meanwhile, you can make the batter that is necessary for getting the crispiness right.
• Add the following ingredients in another bowl: 1/2 cup of flour, cumin seeds, and a pinch of baking soda.
• These dry ingredients will give your pakoras that savoury taste with that lovely crunch.
• Now gradually add 1/4 cup of water to the flour mixture and stir continuously until you have a thick paste consistency.
• The batter should coat the slices well but not be runny.
• Now it's time to fry the pakoras.
• Heat some oil, about an inch of it, in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Test for the readiness of oil by dropping a little prepared batter in it.
• The latter will rise to the top, but its colour won't change, which is an indication that the oil is ready to fry.
• Once the oil is heated, coat each of the marinated paneer pieces lightly with a generous amount of batter and slowly drop them in the frying pan.
• Fry pakoras in small batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan, thereby reducing the temperature of oil and making your pakoras soggy.
• Fry pakoras for almost 4 to 5 minutes, or flip them sometimes for even cooking, and you will see that both sides are golden brown and crispy.
• Remove the pakoras from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and let them drain some of the excess oil on paper towels.
• Repeat for all the marinated paneer slices until they turn into lovely shades of golden brown.
• And finally, you have your deliciously steaming, crispy, tasty paneer pakoras that can be enjoyed with chutney, adding another delicious dimension to the snack's flavour.
• Whether you enjoy these paneer pakoras as an appetiser at a party or as a yummy evening snack, every single one will surely please them with their crispy outside and soft, flavourful inside.
• These pakoras embody just the perfect mix of textures and tastes, making them one of the favourite treats for someone who loves Indian food.
• Enjoy each one because it is both easy to prepare and very crowd-pleasing!
