Ingredients:<br />

Paneer (curd), cut into chucks<br />

Batter; Chickpea flour 2 Cups<br />

Self Raising Plain Flour 2 Tablespoons<br />

Half Teaspoon of rock salt & turmeric<br />

Ghee for deep frying<br />

PANEER PAKORAH<br />

47BA timeless treat<br />

<strong>The</strong> Luxuries<br />

You can use a huge array of vegies for these treats deep fried in ghee, cauliflower,<br />

eggplant and spinach for example. Mix up the batter and let it rest, or meditate. If<br />

the batter will cover the curd without all falling off or on the other extreme collecting<br />

in a big lump, then you have it right. Add a little water or flour and get it right. It is<br />

a little like life, a balance. Have the ghee heated, not as hot as for Puri, on a low to<br />

medium flame. Dip the curd in the batter and drop into the ghee. After a minute you<br />

should be able to move the Pakorah and see how it faired. Make any adjustments to<br />

the batter and push on, they always taste great regardless, serve with sour date sauce<br />

and Kitchari. Curd cooks in about 2-3 minutes, vegies take up to eight minutes. If<br />

the ghee is too hot, the outside will burn and the inside will be raw. If the ghee is not<br />

hot enough, they will be soggy. Life again!<br />

Wholesome and healthy is knowing what and how to eat at a particular, time place and<br />

circumstance, Nothing is totally healthy!<br />
