Yummy inside and yummy outside, paneer rolls is tasty through and through!
The paneer rolls are made with the right mix of paneer and potatoes flavoured with spice powders and pastes, and deep-fried with a batter coating.
An innovative idea that adds to the crunchiness of this snack is to roll the batter-coated rolls in bread crumbs before frying. This not only gives the paneer kurkure a very appetizing appearance, it also makes it super crispy.
An amazing range of textures such as the succulence of the filling and the crunch of bread crumbs, not to forget the variety of interesting flavours like the spiciness of garam masala and the tanginess of amchur, make paneer kurkure a unique and irresistible snack!
Notes on making paneer rolls. 1. Add the dried mango powder. It provides a pleasant tang to the crunchy paneer roll. You can also use chaat masala or fresh lemon juice as a substitute. 2. Roll them in bread crumbs till they are evenly coated from all the sides. You can use your hands or spoon while double coating anything. Spoon to dip in batter and hand to coat them. 3. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. This is necessary so that the bread crumbs stick very well to the rolls and they do not disintegrate while deep-frying. 4. For frying the Paneer Roll, deep-fry a few rolls at a time on medium flame. If you deep fry on low-flame they will absorb a lot of oil and if you fry on a hot flame, they will turn dark from outside and remain under cooked from outside.
