New & Unique Paneer Recipe For Evening Snacks

Today we are going to make crunchy paneer popcorn for kids and adults in very simple and easy steps. To make paneer popcorn batter, first we will take maida, corn flour, rice flour, oregano, red chilli powder, onion powder, garlic powder and kashmiri red chilli powder. Mix it well. We will add paneer to the batter and let it marinate. It will give a very nice flavor to the paneer popcorn. Now slowly add water to it and make a slurry of medium consistency. Make sure it is not too thick or else there will be an extra layer in the paneer popcorn. If it is too thin, it will not be able to absorb the remaining coating. This texture is perfect. Add a little salt to it and mix it well. Our batter is now ready. Now I will add paneer to it. I have cut the paneer into small pieces. Since it is called paneer popcorn, do not cut it into very big pieces. Now mix it very gently with the help of a spoon so that the paneer is perfectly coated in the batter. Now we will let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes. For the second coating, I am using cornflakes. Crush it with your hands. Never do it in a mixer grinder or else it will turn into a powder. Cornflakes will give a very nice bite and crunch to our popcorn. Generally, if you eat popcorn outside, whether it is chicken popcorn or paneer popcorn, you will see that its outer layer is very crunchy. If you do not have it, you can roast the poha and take it. I have added bread crumbs with it. Mix it well. Our outer coating is now ready. Now add the paneer pieces one by one. Do not transfer all the pieces at once or else some batter will come in it. Mix it very gently so that the outer coating is perfectly coated. This is very important because we want our paneer popcorn to be very crunchy. I have coated all the pieces. Now I will keep it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. I have heated the oil on medium flame. Now transfer the paneer popcorn one by one. Fry it for 3 to 4 minutes on medium flame so that it gets a beautiful golden color. You can stir it in between with the help of a spoon. Our delicious paneer popcorn is ready.
