🔥 How to Make Paneer 65 – Step-by-Step
1️⃣ First, Cut the Paneer
To begin, cut the paneer into bite-sized cubes. This ensures each piece fries evenly and absorbs all the flavour.
2️⃣ Next, Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the spices, rice flour, corn flour, yogurt, lime juice, ginger garlic paste, and a handful of curry leaves.
Then, add a splash of water and stir until a thick, smooth batter forms.
3️⃣ After That, Coat the Paneer
Now, add the paneer cubes into the prepared batter. Then, gently mix until each piece is well-coated.
For best results, let it rest for 30 minutes so the flavours can fully absorb.
4️⃣ Meanwhile, Heat the Oil
While the paneer is marinating, heat Sampradas Wood Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil in a deep pan until it’s hot and shimmering.
5️⃣ Once Hot, Fry the Paneer
Carefully drop the marinated paneer cubes into the oil. Fry for 5–7 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
6️⃣ Finally, Serve and Enjoy
Once done, drain the excess oil using a paper towel. Serve your hot and crispy Paneer 65 with fresh mint chutney — or enjoy it just as it is!
🌿 Cooking Tips
- First and foremost, always fry paneer on high heat initially for crispiness, then lower heat to cook evenly.
- You can air fry or shallow fry if preferred, but the texture may vary.
- For extra crunch, add a little crushed kasuri methi to the batter.
