Paneer pakoda

Paneer pakodas are simple to make. It gets ready in jiffy. You can serve them as starters or snacks as you want but make sure the paneer is fresh. I made them for iftiyar and served it with mint chutney and spicy tomato sauce.

Ingredient's:
150grams paneer cut into bite size pieces
1 cup besan/gram flour sieved
1/2 tsp ajwain seeds
1tsp red chilly powder
1/4 tsp turmeric
A pinch soda
Salt as per taste
Water as required
Oil for frying

Method:
In a bowl add in besan,salt, red chilly powder, turmeric powder, ajwain seeds, and soda mix it well. Pour in water little by little and make a thick batter. Make sure no lumps are formed so stir it well. Keep it aside for 5 minutes. Meanwhile heat kadai/wok pour in enough oil for frying. Once the oil is hot reduce the flame to medium. Now take the cut paneer and dip it into the batter coating it well on all sides and put it into the hot oil. Do this with all paneer and fry until its brown and crisp. Take them out in a plate lined with paper towel to absorb all excess oil. Serve it hot with mint chutney or tomato ketchup or sprinkle some chat masala and have as it is. Enjoy
