Instructions
 

Prepare the Paneer Mixture

  • Crumble the paneer into a bowl. Add salt, grated garlic, chili powder, and tomato ketchup. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Shape the Fritters

  • Divide the paneer mixture into 9 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 2-inch long cylindrical roll. Set aside.

Make the Batter

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of water until you have a smooth, pourable batter.

Coat and Fry

  • Dip each paneer roll into the flour batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, roll the battered fritter in the crushed papad until evenly covered.
  • Heat the oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated paneer rolls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Fry the fritters, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per side).

Drain and Serve

  • Remove the fried fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Serve the crispy paneer fritters immediately with tomato ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Paneer Fritters

  • Ensure the paneer is well-crumbled to prevent the fritters from becoming dense.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fritters.
  • Adjust the chili powder according to your spice preference. For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • For an extra crispy exterior, let the fritters cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
