Ingredients
- 250 grams Paneer
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 500 ml Oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the paneer into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
Step 3
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the dry ingredients along with the lemon juice and water. Mix to create a smooth batter.
Step 4
Finely chop the cilantro and add it into the batter, stirring to incorporate.
Step 5
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be around 1-2 inches deep to ensure the pakodas can fry evenly on all sides.
Step 6
Dip each paneer cube into the prepared batter, ensuring it is evenly coated, then carefully drop it into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the pakodas until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to turn them occasionally for even frying.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the pakodas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly chutneys or sauces.
