Thick slices of fresh paneer are dipped in spiced gram-flour batter and fried until golden and crisp outside, soft and milky inside. Served hot with mint chutney, our Paneer Pakora is a favourite tea-time snack and a regular on party and catering orders.
Paneer Pakora is a beloved vegetarian appetizer in Indian cuisine, and at Lovely Sweets, we make it with fresh paneer (Indian cottage cheese) that's firm yet tender. Each cube of paneer is dipped in a seasoned gram flour (besan) batter mixed with aromatic spices like ajwain (carom seeds), garam masala, and a touch of red chili powder.
The pakoras are then deep-fried until the batter becomes golden and crispy, creating a perfect contrast with the soft, creamy paneer inside. The result is an irresistible appetizer that's both satisfying and flavorful. Served hot with fresh mint chutney and tamarind sauce, these pakoras are perfect for rainy days, as party snacks, or as a delicious start to your Indian meal.

"Crispy on the outside and the paneer inside is still soft. Great with the mint chutney and a cup of chai."
