Ashoka Paneer Pakora, Frozen, 420 Grams — Crispy, Batter-Fried Cheese Fritters


Product Features
Paneer pakora, cubes of Indian cottage cheese coated in a spiced gram flour batter and deep-fried until crisp, is a beloved tea-time snack and appetizer across South Asian households. This frozen version from Ashoka, packaged at 420 Grams, offers ready-to-fry pakoras without needing to prepare the batter and coat each piece by hand. SubziCart.com stocks this popular snack for South Asian households in the USA who enjoy paneer pakora, particularly during the monsoon season or as a comforting rainy-day treat.


Nutritional Information
These pakoras combine protein and calcium from the paneer with carbohydrates from the gram flour batter, along with a moderate to higher fat content resulting from the frying process. Because they contain dairy, they are not suitable for those with dairy allergies or significant lactose intolerance. As a fried snack, they are best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet, and air-frying can help reduce added fat compared to deep-frying.


Cooking Suggestions
Fry these pakoras from frozen in hot oil until golden and crisp, or use an air fryer for a lighter alternative with less added oil. Serve them hot with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or a simple ketchup for dipping, paired with a cup of chai for the classic tea-time snacking experience. They also work well as part of a larger appetizer spread for gatherings.


Good to Know
Because the paneer filling can be very hot immediately after frying, letting the pakoras rest for a minute or two before serving helps prevent burns. Avoiding overcrowding during frying or air-frying also helps ensure each piece cooks evenly and develops a crisp exterior. Because pakoras are so closely tied to rainy weather and cozy evenings in many households, keeping a bag on hand means that comforting tradition is easy to recreate any time the mood strikes. Serving them fresh out of the fryer, rather than letting them sit, gives the best texture. A hot cup of chai alongside rounds out the classic rainy-day snacking experience nicely. Their golden, crispy exterior makes them hard to resist straight out of the fryer. A paper towel-lined plate helps absorb any extra oil right after frying.
