    We all love fried food. They are a perfect partner to tea. If you are travelling, you can just have them with bread. Cottage cheese fritters or Paneer pakoda is one of the yummiest party starters. I love making it when someone is coming home. Paneer is such a versatile ingredient. You can use blocks of paneer bread to make a pakora. Stuff fresh crumbled paneer in soft roti dough and add some spices. Voila! it turns into an amazing paratha.
