Spiced Chickpea and Paneer Fritters

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and mashed chickpeas with crumbled paneer.

2.Add the besan, finely chopped onion, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and chopped coriander leaves to the bowl.

3.Season the mixture with salt to taste and mix everything thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape; if it's too wet, add a little more besan.

4.Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, take small portions of the mixture and shape them into small fritters or patties.

5.Carefully place the fritters in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6.Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

7.Serve the spiced chickpea and paneer fritters hot with mint chutney or yogurt dip.
