0/200Paneer Pakora — Crispy Chickpea-Battered Paneer Fritters at Raunak, Milpitas
Paneer Pakora is the vegetarian answer to fried chicken — a beloved Indian tea-time snack where thick slabs of fresh paneer (Indian cottage cheese) are marinated in spiced yogurt and green chutney, then dipped in a seasoned chickpea-flour batter and deep-fried until golden and crisp. The result is a fritter with a crackling exterior and a meltingly soft, milky interior. This dish is a staple of Indian monsoon culture — when the rains arrive, families gather over hot chai and fresh paneer pakoras. It is also a popular appetizer during festivals like Diwali and Holi.
Nutrition notes
Paneer is rich in protein, calcium, and phosphorus. Chickpea flour adds fiber and is gluten-free. The dish is vegetarian and satisfyingly filling.
