Crispy Paneer Fingers Recipe

Ingredients

for Crispy Paneer Fingers

• 100 grams paneer
• 1 cup bread crumbs (appx 5 breads) *Bread crumbs should be course.
• 4 tablespoons maida (all purpose flour)
• 2 tablespoons corn flour (corn starch)
• 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder can use fresh chopped garlic if you don't have garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon italian seasoning
• salt to taste
• oil for frying

Steps

1. Prepare the bread crumbs and set them aside.
2. In a bowl, combine the maida, cornflour, red chili powder, black pepper powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt.
3. Mix in enough water to form a paste that coats the paneer pieces well.
4. Dip the paneer fingers into the batter, then roll in breadcrumbs. Repeat the coating so the fingers are double-breaded.
5. Coat the remaining paneer pieces in the same way.
6. Refrigerate the coated paneer fingers for 15-20 minutes to help the breadcrumbs adhere well.
7. Once the oil is hot enough, deep-fry the fingers until both sides are golden brown. Remove them and drain on a paper towel.
8. Serve the crispy, crunchy paneer fingers with tomato ketchup.
