Haldirams Paneer Pakora€7.99Out of stock
Paneer pakora is a popular Indian snack made with paneer (Indian cottage cheese). It is essentially a deep-fried dish where cubes or slices of paneer are coated in a spiced batter and fried until golden and crispy. Here's a basic recipe for paneer pakora:
Ingredients:
- 200 grams of paneer, cut into cubes or slices
- 1 cup besan (gram flour)
- 2 tablespoons rice flour (optional, for added crispiness)
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- Salt to taste
- Water, as needed
- Oil for deep frying
For the batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the besan, rice flour (if using), red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt.
- Gradually add water to the mixture while whisking to form a smooth batter. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the paneer cubes evenly. Ensure there are no lumps in the batter.
- Let the batter rest for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
For frying:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai on medium heat.
- Dip each paneer cube into the batter, making sure it is coated well from all sides.
- Gently drop the coated paneer cube into the hot oil. Fry a few pieces at a time, depending on the size of your pan, to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry the pakoras until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping them occasionally to ensure even cooking. It usually takes around 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once done, remove the pakoras using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
- Repeat the process with the remaining paneer cubes and batter.
Serve the paneer pakoras hot with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or tomato ketchup. They make a delicious appetizer or tea-time snack, and the crispy exterior and soft paneer inside provide a delightful texture contrast. Enjoy!

Haldirams Phulka Roti Family Pack€9.95Out of stock
Phulka roti, also known as chapati or roti, is a popular flatbread from the Indian subcontinent. It is made from a simple dough of whole wheat flour, salt, and water, which is kneaded and then rolled into thin circles. The rotis are then cooked on a hot griddle or tawa until they puff up and are lightly browned on both sides.
Phulka roti is a staple food in many Indian households and is often served with curries, lentils, or vegetables. It is a healthier alternative to other Indian breads like naan or paratha, as it is typically made without any added oil or ghee.
The word "phulka" in Hindi means "puffed up" or "inflated," which refers to the characteristic puffiness of the roti when it is cooked properly. It is a versatile and easy-to-make bread that is enjoyed by people of all ages and is commonly eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Zulekha Charcoal Chicken Malai Kebab€15.49Out of stock
Malai Kebab is a delicious and flavorful dish originating from the Indian subcontinent, particularly the region of Peshawar, which is now part of Pakistan. Here's a description:
-
Ingredients: The kebabs are primarily made with tenderized boneless chicken or lamb pieces marinated in a rich mixture of cream (malai), yogurt, spices, and sometimes ground nuts or seeds for added flavor and texture. Common spices used include ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and sometimes a hint of saffron.
-
Texture: The marinated meat is typically very tender and succulent, owing to the yogurt and cream-based marinade. When cooked, the kebabs have a melt-in-your-mouth texture with a slight char on the outside from grilling or roasting.
-
Flavor profile: Malai Peshwari Kebabs are known for their rich and creamy flavor, thanks to the inclusion of malai (cream) in the marinade. The spices used impart a warm and aromatic taste, while the yogurt helps to tenderize the meat and enhance the overall flavor profile.
-
Preparation: The meat is usually marinated for several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate and tenderize the meat thoroughly. After marination, the meat is threaded onto skewers and grilled, roasted, or cooked in a tandoor (clay oven) until perfectly cooked and slightly charred on the edges.
-
Serving: Malai Peshwari Kebabs are often served hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves, lemon wedges, and accompanied by a side of mint chutney or yogurt sauce. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or as part of a larger meal with naan bread or rice.
