13. Hing   1/4 tsp
14. Salt   to taste
15. Oil   1-2 Tbsp

Notes:

The same pakora batter can also be deep fried instead of cooking in waffle maker.

For Vegan option, skip Paneer and make it as onion pakora or use grated Tofu instead of Paneer.

I like fennel seeds in my pakora, you can skip or replace it with jeera/cumin seeds.

You can also use finely chopped or thinly sliced capsicum/green pepper to this pakora recipe.

Grated carrot, cauliflower, beetroot can also be added for more tasty and colorful pakora waffle.

Method

• In a mixing bowl, add grated paneer, sliced onions, finely chopped green chilli, ginger, cilantro, fennel seeds,  red chilli powder, turmeric powder, hing, salt and mix everything well and then add gram flour,  rice flour, baking soda mix well and add water to make it to a thick Pakora batter.
• Pre heat waffle maker, when its ready and hot brush with oil or use cooking oil spray to grease the surface.
• Then pour 1-2 Tbsp of prepared pakora batter and cook according the waffle maker instructions, since I used Mini Waffle maker, for each pakora waffle it took 5 minutes to get crisp and golden brown crust.
• Once the pakora is cooked crisp and turned golden brown remove from the waffle maker.
• Repeat the same process until all pakora batter is cooked.
• Serve the Paneer Pakora Waffle hot with Green Chutney & Dates Tamarind Chutney.
