Instructions
 

Prepare the Paneer

  • Grate the paneer using a grater.

Make the Dough

  • In a large bowl, combine the grated paneer, butter, milk, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • Mix well until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead gently for 2-3 minutes.
  • Let the dough rest for 15 minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel.

Roll and Cut

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough as thinly as possible. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  • Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the rolled dough into small, square-shaped cheeslings.

Fry the Cheeslings

  • Heat the ghee in a wide, heavy-bottomed pan or wok over medium-low heat.
  • Carefully add the cheeslings to the hot ghee, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Fry the cheeslings in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3-5 minutes per batch.

Finish and Serve

  • Remove the fried cheeslings from the ghee using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  • Serve the crispy cheeslings warm and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Cheeslings

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of your favorite spices to the dough, such as chili powder, garam masala, or chaat masala.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; this will lower the temperature of the ghee and result in oily, rather than crispy, cheeslings.
  • Fry the cheeslings over medium-low heat to ensure they cook through evenly and achieve a beautiful golden-brown color without burning.
  • If you prefer a less rich snack, you can reduce the amount of ghee used or substitute with vegetable oil.
