paneer parcels are deep fried plain flour wrappers stuffed with a yummy paneer filling.

paneer parcels has the perfectly balanced textures and exciting flavours of ingredients like paneer, spring onions and Schezuan sauce truly excite the palate, more so when the mixture is packed inside plain flour wrappers and deep-fried till perfectly crisp.

It is amazing how four ingredients merely mixed together in paneer parcels can create such a tongue-tingling effect!

Notes on paneer parcels recipe. 1. Slowly add the hot water, little by little, and start forming a dough. These is no particular measure of how much water we have to use. We use hot water so that the dough retains moisture and does not get dry. 2. Add the schezuan sauce for a tangy, spicy garlic flavor. Since paneer does not have a flavour on its own, we add 1/4 cup of the sauce. 3. Gently press the folded side to seal the paneer parcel. If it is not properly sealed, the chances are that it will open up while frying. 4. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan. Only when the oil is hot, place a few paneer parcels in the oil. The oil should not be too hot or else the parcels will burn.

Enjoy the Paneer Parcels immediately on preparation for the exciting crispness.

   Hi Sunita, We would suggest not to give this to a pregnant woman. First of all, it has maida as the ingredient and secondly it is deep-fried. Not really a good option.
