Paneer Pakoda

by Shaheen Ali

Hurraayyy! It’s raining and you know what exactly should be done when it rains. Yes, a hot cuppa tea with some crispy yummy pakodas. Ummmm lemme think, well how about paneer pakodas today? I love Paneer and i love pakodas too, and the combination of both is simply irresistible. Thick fat pieces of paneer, dipped in a gram flour batter and deep fried, later flavored with chaat masala … Omg, i am salivating now!

Pakodas also known as bhajiyas or bhajjis etc come hand in hand with rains. Pakodas are a gift to humanity to enjoy rains…lol. In India, we love enjoying pakodas mostly in evening with tea and also make a wide range of pakodas with almost every possible thing. Is there any vegetable left, we haven’t tried making pakodas of them? The paneer pakoda is one most favorite snack that is often made in my home. The batter should be so beautifully whisked that while you fry the pakodas not even a speck of oil should be there in them. This happens only when the batter is perfectly whisked and is in a correct consistency. Let us quickly check out the recipe !
