Stuffed paneer pakora recipe, paneer pakora

Stuffed paneer pakora with green chutney sandwiched between the paneer slices and made pakora. Full video, step by step pictures recipe.

Paneer pakora is a very easy and quick to prepare snack. It is our family favorite. In weekends, when we are super hungry in tea time, Aj asks to make paneer pakora. It’s quite filling snack too.  I have always wanted to try this version of stuffed ones. But usually frozen paneer cubes will be the one I use, so make simple paneer pakoras.

I already have posted two green chutney recipes, but go with the one I have mentioned here as it will be thick and apt for this particular recipe. Stay tuned for Ganesh Chaturthi recipes, meanwhile browse my collections.

Notes

• You can also slit a thick slice of paneer in the middle to add green chutney inside it. But I chose this way.
• If using frozen paneer, thaw first, keep immersed in hot water.
