About Paneer pakora

Paneer Pakora is a popular Indian snack originating from the vibrant cuisine of the Indian subcontinent. This dish features soft, protein-rich paneer (Indian cottage cheese) coated in a seasoned gram flour (besan) batter and deep-fried to a crispy, golden perfection. The batter is typically spiced with turmeric, chili powder, and ajwain (carom seeds), adding depth of flavor. Paneer is a good source of protein and calcium, making it beneficial for maintaining strong bones and muscle health. However, since Paneer Pakora is deep-fried, it can be high in calories and fat, so moderation is key. Often paired with tangy chutneys or served as a tea-time snack, it offers an indulgent and satisfying treat. For a healthier twist, it can be baked or air-fried to reduce the fat content while retaining its delicious essence.
