About Paneer pakoda

Paneer Pakoda is a popular snack from Indian cuisine, beloved for its crispy texture and savory flavor. This dish features soft cubes of paneer, a fresh, non-aged cheese known for its high protein and calcium content, coated in a seasoned gram flour (besan) batter. The batter commonly includes spices like turmeric, chili powder, and cumin, giving the pakodas their rich, zesty taste. The coated paneer is deep-fried until golden, making it irresistibly crunchy on the outside while staying soft inside. While paneer is a nutritious ingredient that supports bone health and muscle repair, the frying process adds significant calories and fat, making Paneer Pakoda an indulgent treat best enjoyed in moderation. For a healthier variation, consider baking or air-frying instead. Typically served with chutneys or a steaming cup of chai, Paneer Pakoda is a delicious way to explore the vibrant flavors of Indian snacks.
