Ingredients
For the Paneer Filling
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese crumbled
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground
For the Besan Coating
- 1 cup Gram Flour besan
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
- 2 tsp Coriander chopped fresh
- 2 tbsp Fenugreek Leaf dried
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 2 tsp Corn Flour
- 2 tbsp Cottage Cheese for garnish, grated
- 1 cup Water for besan mixture
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil for deep frying
- Chili Flakes for garnish, to taste
- Pudina Powder dry, for garnish, to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Paneer Filling
- Combine crumbled paneer, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well.
Prepare the Besan Coating
- In a bowl, whisk together gram flour, salt, chili powder, chopped coriander, kasuri methi, turmeric powder, and 1 cup of water until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
Assemble and Fry the Balls
- Divide the besan batter into 10 equal portions. Place a spoonful of the paneer filling in the center of each portion.
- Shape each portion into a tight ball, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.
Coat and Fry
- Coat each ball evenly with corn flour. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium-high heat.
- Carefully add the balls to the hot oil and deep fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Garnish and Serve
- Garnish the fried balls with grated paneer, chili flakes, and dry pudina powder. Serve hot with your favorite chutneys or sauces.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Paneer Stuffed Methi Besan Balls
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garam masala to the paneer filling.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Fry the balls in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder according to your spice preference.
- For a healthier option, shallow fry the balls instead of deep frying.
