Take the paneer cubes in a small bowl. Add ½ tsp of chili powder and garam masala.

Toss the cubes well so that they get coated with the chili powder and masala. Keep it aside.

To prepare the pakora batter, take a bowl, add gram flour, rice flour, salt, and ginger-chili paste and mix well.

Add water in little quantities and mix well so that we get a thick yet pouring consistency.

Heat oil in a kadai. Dip the paneer pieces well into the batter and drop them gently into the oil.

Keep tossing and flipping them in the oil so that they get deep-fried and turn a golden brown.

Ensure not to burn them. Fry on a medium flame.

Repeat the same to fry the pieces in batches.

Take them out and drain the excess oil using a tissue paper.

Serve the paneer pakoras hot with chutney or a cup of tea.
