Paneer Pakoda


Ingredients

200 grams paneer
Salt to taste
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 cup gram flour
2 tbsp rice flour
Oil to fry
Chaat masala

To be roasted and ground into powder

2 red chillies
1/2 tsp white sesame seeds
1/2 tsp bengalgram dal
1/2 tsp blackgram dal
Bit of asafoetida
Salt to taste

Cut the paneer into rectangle pieces. Slit them in between and spread out some masala powder in it. See to it that you cut the paneer in only three sides.

Mix gram flour, rice flour, salt and red chilli powder with water to get a thick batter. Dip the paneer pieces in this batter and fry them in hot oil till golden brown.

Drain excess oil on a tissue paper. Sprinkle some chaat masala powder on it and serve hot.
