Paneer Pakoda
炸薯餅 is a delicious and popular Indian snack made from paneer (Indian cottage cheese) coated in a spiced chickpea flour batter and deep-fried to golden perfection. The paneer is cut into bite-sized pieces and dipped into a batter made from besan (chickpea flour), water, and a blend of spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder. The coated paneer pieces are then deep-fried until crispy and golden brown on the outside, with a soft and creamy interior. Often served with chutneys like mint or tamarind, Paneer Pakoda is a perfect appetizer or tea-time snack that offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors.
