Paneer Cheese Balls Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a mixing bowl, crumble the paneer and add mashed potatoes, chopped onions, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, coriander leaves, and spices.
• STEP 2.Mix everything well to form a smooth dough-like mixture. Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into balls.
• STEP 3.In a separate bowl, prepare a batter using all-purpose flour, cornflour, salt, and water. Dip each paneer ball into the batter, ensuring it is coated evenly.
• STEP 4.Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai. Carefully drop the coated paneer balls into the hot oil and fry them until golden brown and crispy.
• STEP 5.Remove the fried paneer balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dip or chutney.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to crumble the paneer properly to avoid any lumps in the mixture.
• You can add grated cheese to the mixture for an extra cheesy flavor.
• If the mixture is too soft, you can add breadcrumbs to bind it together.
• To make the paneer balls healthier, you can also bake them in the oven instead of deep frying.

Storage and Serving

• Paneer cheese balls are best served hot and crispy.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the paneer balls for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
• Serve them as an appetizer or snack with ketchup, mint chutney, or any other dip of your choice.
