Paneer pakora is the appetizer that disappears first. Thick cubes of fresh paneer go into a seasoned chickpea-flour batter and straight into hot oil, so the outside shatters and the middle stays soft and milky. Served with mint chutney, sliced onion and lime — the ideal way to open a meal in Winnipeg.
Pakoras are Indian rainy-day food, and paneer pakora is the richest of the family. Because paneer holds its shape when it is fried, each piece keeps a distinct contrast: crisp, spiced crust outside and soft cheese inside.
Our batter is chickpea flour (besan) seasoned with ajwain, turmeric, chilli and salt, loosened just enough to cling to the paneer without turning heavy. Everything is fried to order so it reaches your table hot. If you are ordering for a group, pair it with our vegetable pakora and samosas — that trio is the backbone of most of our party platters and office lunch trays in Winnipeg.
Mild. The heat sits in the mint chutney, so you control it.
Vegetarian. Contains dairy (paneer) and is battered in chickpea flour rather than wheat flour.

“We ordered two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish and all were amazing. The palak paneer was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal.”

“Amazing value for the buffet—so many vegetarian choices and everything full of flavor. Goat vindaloo and palak paneer are standouts, and the mango lassi is a perfect finish.”
