Ingredients

• 250 grams Paneer
• 50 grams Chickpea flour (besan)
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 50 ml Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
• 100 ml Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Cut the paneer into cubes, approximately 1-inch in size, and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt.

Step 3

Add lemon juice and gradually add water to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a smooth batter, slightly thicker than pancake consistency.

Step 4

Heat oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat.

Step 5

Dip each paneer cube into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated paneer cubes into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Fry the paneer cubes until they are golden brown on all sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove them from the oil.

Step 8

Place the fried paneer on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot as a snack or a part of a main meal, accompanied by your favorite chutney.
