Crispy Paneer Corn Flake Bites

1.Prepare the paneer by cutting it into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

2.In a shallow bowl, combine the crushed corn flakes, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.

3.In another bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a third bowl, beat the egg until well mixed.

4.Take each paneer cube and first coat it in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

5.Next, dip the floured paneer cube into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.

6.Finally, roll the egg-coated paneer cube in the corn flake mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well. Repeat this process for all the paneer cubes.

7.Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles and browns, the oil is hot enough.

8.Carefully add the coated paneer bites to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

9.Once cooked, remove the paneer bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

10.Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
