Instructions
- I used a store-bought paneer bar to make these paneer fingers. Thaw the paneer bar and cut it into vertical pieces, approximately 2 inches in length.200 gms Paneer
- Sprinkle red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the paneer pieces, mix well, and let them marinate for 15 minutes.1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder, ⅓ teaspoon Coriander Powder
- Take a bowl and add maida, corn flour, pepper powder, and salt. Gradually add water, stirring continuously to form a thick paste.½ Cup Maida (All Purpose Flour), ¼ Cup Corn Flour, 1 teaspoon Pepper Powder, 1 teaspoon Salt
- Ensure the consistency is not too runny, as it should coat the paneer pieces well. Dip each paneer piece into the prepared batter, ensuring an even coating.
- Spread the bread crumbs on a flat plate. Grind the peanuts in a mixer until they form a fine powder.½ Cup Bread Crumbs, ½ Cup Peanuts
- Combine the ground peanut powder with the bread crumbs and set it aside for coating. Take each batter-coated paneer piece and roll it in the breadcrumb-peanut mixture, ensuring an even coating.
- Place the coated paneer fingers on a plate and repeat the process for the remaining pieces. Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan for frying. Once the oil is hot, add 5-6 paneer fingers at a time and fry them over medium heat until golden and crispy.2 Cups Oil
- Gently turn the paneer fingers to ensure even frying on all sides. Once they turn golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- The crispy, spicy, and delicious paneer fingers are ready to be enjoyed hot with tomato ketchup or mint chutney. Enjoy the burst of flavors!
