Notes
- Make sure to mix spices well with paneer otherwise it will be bland.
- I usually separate while deep frying itself if it sticks to get perfect shaped pieces just like in restaurnts. But you can seperate later after frying too.
- Adding all the paneer and mixing with batter can easily break paneer. So I would suggest to add few at a time coat well then add to hot oil.
- You can adjust spice level according to your preference.
- For gluten free version you can use cornflour and riceflour(replace with maida).
- If the batter is too thin then it will not coat the paneer well, if its too thick it will not be crispy.So make sure to make the perfect consistency batter, add water accordingly.
- Do not skip cooking soda as it gives the perfect texture. Without soda paneer 65 will be slightly hard.
