Notes

  • To make a perfect and presentable paneer pakora, take a perfect cube of panner. If it's brittle or breaking then it will not taste good in pakoras.
  • Use good quality chickpea flour/gram flour or besan.
  • Strain the flour before use. It will give you the smooth texture of pakoras. You can make variations in spices to add in paneer as per your taste.
  • Gram flour batter should be thick and consistent. It should not be runny otherwise the paneer will not stick the batter.
  • Use cornflour or rice flour to add extra crispiness in pakoras. Especially the rice flour add crunch in pakoras.
  • Strain the besan or flour before use.
  • Avoid to fry pakora on high heat. Medium heat/flame/temperature is recommended.
