Paneer Pakoda Waffles
Be it rainy weather of meeting with friends and enjoying chai or coffee, Pakodas will never get old. Here is my healthy twist to Paneer Pakodas that can be easily made in a waffle maker. You won’t even miss the fried version after trying them this way. I tested the recipe and you won’t believe I made several batches as they tasted so good. These are filled with chutney as it adds the extra zing to the bland paneer. The crunch and flavor in every bite will make you want to eat more. Checkout the recipe below
