Paneer Pakoda
A beloved Indian snack, Paneer Pakoda features soft, fresh cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) dipped in a spiced gram flour (besan) batter and deep-fried to crispy, golden perfection. The batter is seasoned with aromatic spices like ajwain (carom seeds), red chili powder, turmeric, and a pinch of chaat masala, which add a delightful kick of flavor to the melt-in-your-mouth paneer inside. Light, crunchy, and satisfyingly savory, these pakodas are served hot with tangy mint-coriander chutney and tamarind sauce, making them an ideal tea-time treat or a crowd-pleasing appetizer for any gathering. Perfect for enjoying on a rainy day or alongside a steaming cup of masala chai!
