Paneer Chutney Pakoda is a delicious snack where soft paneer cubes are stuffed with spicy green chutney, dipped in gram flour batter, and deep-fried till crisp and golden. A perfect tea-time or party appetizer, it combines creamy paneer, tangy chutney, and crunchy coating in every bite.
Pakodas are a classic Indian monsoon and tea-time treat, but Paneer Chutney Pakoda takes them to the next level. In this variation, paneer cubes are slit or sandwiched with fresh green chutney made from coriander, mint, green chilli, and spices. The chutney-stuffed paneer pieces are then dipped in a spiced besan (gram flour) batter and deep-fried until crisp.
The result is a flavorful pakoda with a surprise burst of chutney inside. It’s indulgent yet quick to prepare, making it a popular street-style snack. Paneer adds protein and richness, while the chutney adds zing, making these pakodas irresistible with masala chai or as a starter at gatherings.
Serve them hot with tamarind chutney, green chutney, or even ketchup — they disappear fast!
