Main Ingredients:-
Cottage Cheese ( Paneer )- 200 gm
Ginger + Garlic - Green Chilli - 2 tsp
Vinegar - 1 tbsp
Cornflour - 1/4 cup
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
Red Chilli Powder - 1/4 tsp
Crushed Maggi - as per requirement
Refined Oil - for deep frying
Serves - 3-4
Methods:-
Prepare the Paneer:-
Cut the paneer into small, bite-sized cubes.
Pat dry the paneer cubes with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture ( optional ).
Prepare the Batter:-
In a bowl, mix the cornflour, turmeric powder and salt.
Gradually add water to the mixture to form a smooth, thick batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the paneer cubes well.
Prepare the Coating:-
Place the crushed maggi in a shallow dish.
Coat the Paneer:-
Coat the dry paneer with turmeric powder , ginger garlic and green chilli paste and salt.
Dip each paneer cube into the batter, ensuring it is well coated.
Roll the coated paneer cube in the crushed maggi, pressing gently to ensure the crushed maggi stick well.
Repeat this process for all the paneer cubes.
Fry the Paneer:-
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai (wok) over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop a few coated paneer cubes into the oil.
Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry until the paneer cubes are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the fried paneer popcorn with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve:-
Serve hot with ketchup, mint chutney, or any dip of your choice.
