Tangy Paneer Pakodas

Ingredients

 * 500 grams of Paneer
 * 1/2 cup Mint-Coriander Chutney
 * 1 cup gram flour
 * salt, to taste
 * 1 tsp chaat masala
 * water, as needed
 * oil for deep frying

Directions
Add the gram flour, salt and chaat masala into a large bowl, and add water to make a fine batter. Cut paneer into cubes. Put some mint-coriander chutney on one side of a piece of panner, and top with another piece to form a sandwich.

Continue to make paneer sandwiches with the remaining pieces. Dip each paneer sandwich into the batter and deep-fry till they turn brown and crispy.

Sprinkle with chaat masala and serve hot with tamarind chutney or ketchup.

Spicy Notes:

chaat masala is tangy spice that is usually sprinkled on top of savoury dishes as well as fruits to give it a burst of flavour. It can be easily found in speciality Indian stores. You may omit it from this recipe if unavailable.
