Course Snack
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 200 gms Paneer cut into cubes
  • 1 tsp Chilli powder
  • Salt as per taste
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • ½ cup Corn flakes crushed put all the corn flakes in a zip lock cover and crush them using a pestle/rolling pin
  • ¼ cup Bread crumbs toast 2-3 bread slices to nice crispiness and then powder them to make crumbs
  • ¼ cup Maida multi-purpose flour
  • ¼ tbsp Cornflour
  • ½ tsp Black pepper powder
  • ½ tsp Garam masala
  • Oil to deep fry

Instructions
 

  • Keep the paneer cubes immersed in hot water for about 15 mins. This step ensures softer results.
  • Drain water from the paneer cubes, add chili powder, salt, and lemon juice. Coat the cubes well with this mixture.
  • Make a batter with maida, cornflour, garam masala, and pepper powder. Use milk as required to make the batter that is not too thick, but enough to coat the paneer.
  • Dip the paneer cubes one by one well into this batter and keep it aside on a plate.
  • Now sprinkle the bread crumbs and the corn flakes powder generously on all sides of the cubes.
  • Coating them well with cornflakes powder and bread crumbs adds more seasoning to the nuggets. You can ignore this step if you don’t have the ingredients available immediately.
  • Heat oil in a Kadai and deep fry the coated paneer cubes in batches. Stir gently to ensure even cooking. Cook in medium flame so that the nuggets don’t get burnt.
  • Once gold and crisp, take them out and drain the excess oil on a tissue paper.
  • Serve them hot with a little tomato sauce.
